There is no reason we cannot extend our wardrobe from one season into the next as long as the colors and textures are right, especially during transitional periods where will will not generally be buying new pieces. A cute summer dress can quickly and easily turn into an early fall ensemble with the right pieces and accessories.
An example is this easy linen summer dress which will now move into early autumn before the temps drop and the earthy colors really begin. This particular dress that I chose is a greenish-turquoise color with native-type designs that work well for our Santa Fe-style.
To take this dress on into fall with that Santa Fe-look, I have added a beige fringe linen jacket (a staple already in my closet which was a thrift store find for me by my daughter). The dress has light golden/beige geometric designs on it that really come out with the beige jacket.
Next I added one of the southwestern-style crocheted sling bags I make (available in my boutique) in a darker beige to match the darker beige that is also in the sage and beige-colored boots that I then added.

If you love the look and want to take it on into late fall or colder weather, simply add a pair of beige leggings. This look can also lead from winter into spring or spring into summer, or if your weather is mild, year round.
You can find and use similar pieces or you can simply take this concept and apply it to pieces that you already have to make your seasonal transitions much easier and more affordable.
Have fun and happy styling.
