You may not realize it, but there are ways to transition into a fall-friendly wardrobe using pieces you already have and love. This week, we’ll cover off on five of those, including cotton dresses, maxi skirts, color-blocking, short-shorts and white denim.

My goal for this weekly outfit series is to show you that you don’t need to break the bank to weatherize your wardrobe.  Though certain items don’t translate to fall-friendly (like barely-there tanks and flip flops), there are several ways to give life to your summer favorites, especially through layers!

This simple sundress has been my MVP multiple times a week so far this fall (that’s Most Versatile Piece).

Army-colored jackets and neutral-toned accessories are an easy way to make your frocks look more refined and appropriate for chillier temps. Toss on closed-toed boots or oxfords to give your ensemble an edge once it’s time to put away the summer sandals.

If you’re new here, you may want to sign up to get corals + cognacs via email. Don’t worry, we’ll send you style, not spam.
