Top: Madewell   Raw hem jeans: Anthropologie   Flats: Free People (ON SALE OMG)

Labor Day is one of my favorite holidays because it means taking a break from school, kicking back and spending time with the family. I spent the weekend doing some of my favorite things: shooting a wedding with my sister (the ever so talented Ana Leigh), snuggling with the farm kitties, working at Anthropologie and catching up on some New Girl episodes. But now that Labor Day has come and gone it is time for some serious fashion business…transitioning from summer to fall. Who’s ready to pull out the stash of boots and cozy sweaters!? This in-between time can be a weird phase in fashion because the weather is all over the place (especially in Iowa) its hot, cold, warm, cool, raining and the hot again, ugh make up your mind world!  So how do you deal with the bipolar temperatures?  My go-to is the simple denim on denim outfit.

Denim on denim is super easy and requires little to no thought…it all matches (from dark wash to chambray…mix ’em all)!  Also, there are so many way to make it fit the weather outside. Denim tank with denim shorts for a hot day or a long sleeve with jeans for a cooler day!  Not even mentioning all the in between options (long sleeve with shorts, short sleeve with jeans, jean jackets. dresses, etc.)!  For this outfit I chose to wear a classic, short sleeve, chambray button down from Madewell with a pair of raw hem (TREND ALERT!) skinny jeans. This was perfect because I wasn’t too hot or too cold. I was also able to transition from class, to work, to dinner with the fam because the pairing is so versatile and classic.

What is your favorite summer-fall transition outfit?

Much love, Abigail
