Transitioning to Fall Fashion: Nautical Style

We're two weeks into August now, so fall is inevitably just around the corner at this point! The weather has even cooled off a bit here, so I've been looking for ways to transition my summer style towards fall - while my actual fall clothes are in storage. I love nautical style, so I thought I'd start by switching out my nautical striped shorts and navy open back tee for wide leg sailor pants and a light striped sweater. Easy! It's not quite fall yet, so I'm still wearing my favourite light orange lipstick (Covergirl Katy Kat Matte in Coral Cat) and some sandal heels. Of course, if we were closer to fall, I'd switch out the shoes too, for something close-toed and nix the orange lipstick altogether.

Speaking of nautical style, isn't this Kraken necklace from BEL Jewelry Boutique the perfect accessory?? I usually go with shiny gold accessories for my summer nautical outfits, but with these being a transition outfit to fall, I chose a piece in a darker, bronze colour. It just so happens the colour matches the nautical buttons on the pants too. Win.

Does anyone else rotate their closet depending on the season? I always love getting creative with transitioning my summer outfits until it's time to officially transition over to my fall wardrobe. It's like a challenge!

Seaside: Comfy Casual

I'm always looking for new ways of working my boyfriend jeans into my wardrobe: they're just so comfy! Of course, no seaside look would be complete without an item of linen and a pair of boat shoes. Perfect for wandering along the beach and pier in White Rock.

I am absolutely loving loose knit sweaters this summer, and they make a great piece for transitioning into the cooler evening weather. I found the one I'm wearing in the last photos at Betty Be Good Boutique; it's perfect for a casual summer look. During the daytime though, a light and airy linen blouse does the trick. I feel like it would make a good 'beach in the Hamptons' type of preppy outfit!
