"Hello, it's me," may be the start of Adele's hit song, but it also accurately describes me, sitting here in New York City, asking the weather to please cool down. Though September 21 signified the official start of the fall equinox, outside it's felt like anything but. 85 degrees one week into autumn? We won't get into the whole global warming thing here, but since this collection is meant to help make getting dressed each month easier, well, we've been finding ourselves at a bit of a loss.
Normally, October outfits would be made up of black booties, leather jackets, trench coats, and other transitional pieces that come in-hand on those days when it's brisk on your way to work. But with things being unseasonably warm here, we've added tons of bare-legged and jacket-less looks into the mix. By this time next month we could be preparing for snow. But until it stops feeling like the dead of August, we're going to keep wearing those off-the-shoulder tops and mini skirts for as long as we can. Here's how to give them new life.
Red boots have magical powers, haven't you heard?
Party pants!!!! (Seriously, how much do these silver bottoms make you want to dance?)
H&M top, Ganni bottoms.
The '70s are trending hard, and there's no better way to channel the decade's style than with a lightweight printed button-up.
Courtyard LA top, Duo NYC bottoms, LOQ shoes.
A solid ringer tee let's the focus stay on the striped maxi, the ultimate statement-maker.
Adidas shoes.
High-necked, patterned, and ruffled? We just found the dress of our dreams.
Ganni dress, BOYY bag, Adidas shoes
That whole bustier-over-a-white-tee thing is still going strong. All you have to do to make it work for fall? Add a trench and some booties.
ASOS top and jacket, Who What Wear x Target skirt, Torrid shoes.
Cropped pants look great with flats, but they look even cooler with some pointed-toe booties.
ASOS coat, Eloquii pants, Zara shoes, Gucci bag.
A bright sweater that doesn't break the bank? Sign us up.
H&M top, Coccinelle bag.
From far away, this looks monochromatic too. But up close, you'll see some tan trousers peeking out from underneath the emerald green look.
Play with proportions by layering an extra-large white top under a super-short mini skirt — then layer the whole thing over a pair of cropped pants.
Storets top, Dior shoes, Alexis Bittar earrings.
Turtlenecks are the ultimate layering savior. Stick a solid black one under a white blouse or button-up for added dimension.
Von Holzhausen bag.
Talk about a power suit. This look is straight from the Paris Fashion Week street style playbook.
Scotch & Soda suit, Adidas shoes, Burberry bag.
Bring the off-the-shoulder silhouette into cooler weather by ditching the cotton and linen for something knitted.
