A Goodbye to Summer

Although autumn doesn’t technically begin until September 23 (guys, we have like almost a full month of summer still!), everyone is OD-ing on pumpkin spice lattes and cozy knits already, so I feel like summer is already gone. That is, until I step outside and it’s 80+ degrees. This transitional period can be so tough sometimes. But since it’s still so warm out, I decided to share one last summery look that’s still totes apropes for these last few weeks of summer.
I got this cute little summer sun dress the other day and I am obsessed. Not only does it actually fit, but the thin blue stripes and sweet summery cut are right up my alley. I paired it with these nude stiletto sandals I got for like $13.99 I think? At Ross. I never shop there–I’m more of a TJ/Marshalls girl, but I cannot get over that deal. I’m going to have to start checking their stores more often!
{ dress: ℅ // shoes: Ross (not sold online), // bag: old, // necklace: Stroll ℅ Crafts & Love // earrings: Bridgette ℅ Crafts & Love }
Of course I topped off the look with the most perfect jewelry to ever exist – pieces from my Autumn Garden collection with Crafts & Love. I know I’m biased, but this stuff can be worn with anything!! I can’t get enough.
Are you ready to say goodbye to summer?

Here in Australia, our summer tends to actually go for about 4-5 months (December to March/April), and I’m talking about endless days above 30-degrees Celsius. By the time it does start to cool down, we’re all so excited for the weather to cool down a bit that I’ve already stocked up on cosy knits and winter soups – terrible, right? Maybe next summer I need to embrace it, because come September, I’ll be wishing for it to be hot again!
I’m adoring those summer stripes on you! And can’t get over how affordable those amazing nude heels were!

Haha, it’s the same way here! People are really jumping the gun! I hate the cold, so I wish it would stay warm year round (that’s what I’m used to in Florida), but I also do love the feeling of fall. And I can’t get over the heels either! It was an amazing deal!

The only thing that helps me let go of summer is all the beautiful things that fall will bring! Love this outfit btw. I’m a TJ/Marshalls kinda girl too but those shoes are too cute! Thanks for sharing!

I feel the same way. Fall is something that is pretty new to me, so I love experiencing that. But I wish we could just skip winter lol

Thank you! I can’t believe it’s still warm all the way up there too! That makes me feel a little better about continuing to wear summer clothes!

So glad that you’re striving to hold on to summer like me! I’m just not ready for the leaves to fall yet.

Exactly! We’re getting a little cold front here in Atlanta right now so I’m pretending it’s fall, but I will be happy when summer comes back for a little bit!

Beautiful, mi nena linda! <3 I've done the changing Seasons when living in New York and somewhat of a change in weather, living here in Alabama, but at this stage of my life, I'm ready for tropical weather all the time!! xoxo
September 15, 2014 @ 11:29 am
Thank you! Yeah, I don’t know if I could handle New York. I think Atlanta is the perfect medium!

Ok, first of all Johnny is such an amazing photographer. Your photos have this gorgeous ethereal quality that I just love.
And, yeah, goodbye summer…come on fall!
And, just let me know when you want to give me that purse. 🙂
