Ah, Fall. It’s finally that time of year. There’s a slight chill in the air, yet it’s not quite cool enough for all of your new fall purchases. And you still want to squeeze in a few more wears out of your summer style staples. Luckily, that’s what transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall is all about. It’s all about combining the best of these two seasons.

This week in Cubicle Chic, I’ll show you three easy ways to transition your work wardrobe from summer to fall.

Summer Dress + Tights

Dress / Tights / Necklace / Bag / Shoes

Your fun and flirty dress has had your back all summer. Show it some love this fall with a simple pair of tights. They come in various textures, colors and prints ranging from conservative to playful. Since this Delia’s red lace dress is already such a statement, simple black tights will suffice. Finish the look with a great fall bag and a classic gold necklace.

Midi Skirt + Booties

Sweater / Skirt / Earrings / Bag / Shoes

The midi skirt is also a trend that will last you well into fall. Instead of pairing with sandals and a tank like you’ve done all summer, wear with a crochet sweater, like this one from Mango, and booties. This open stitch top and the boots keep you warm while still showing off a bit of skin. Round off the look with a chic top handle bag and hoop earrings.

Sleeveless Blouse + Cardigan

Blouse / Cardigan / Pants / Earrings / Bag / Shoes

Love that sleeveless, neon blouse you’ve been wearing all summer? Extend its life a few more months by pairing it with more toned down pieces like this draped cardigan and grey suiting pants. Finish off this business casual outfit with a shoulder bag {this one from H&M is less than $10!}, sensible pumps and coordinating pink earrings.

What style tips do you use to transition your wardrobe? Do you have a favorite garment you wear year round?

    Definitely adding tights. However I wear more pants in the winter than skirts/dresses. I’m the one who always has a scarf, shawl, sweater or jacket no matter the season (feeling cold is real folks!)
