I received an
email request last weekend – and it’s
a great question! “We've definitely moved into fall but I still want to
wear some of my summer clothing, with its bold and fun colours. Any suggestions
for a smooth transition?”
We purchase such beautiful
spring and summer items only to disregard them once the leaves start to change.
As a challenge, I revisited two older posts I wrote celebrating flashy colours
and fun accessories: Summer Wardrobe Essentials and Spring Brights. I then combined
them to my new Five Trends to Update your Fall Wardrobe. Here are the results:

Keep an eye
out for interesting summer/fall colour combinations. For example, turquoise is a great
match with kaki and emerald. Navy can be mixed and matched with most bright
shades, such as green, yellow and orange. Don’t be shy to add a few bright pink
accessories to a plum ensemble or a neon necklace to a charcoal dress. You can also play with textures by combining summery silks with fall knits. To help you out, here are few pictures of some
of my favourite bloggers as they transition from warm to chilly weather.
