transitional period

(silk floral Madewell dress, Etoile Isabel Marant military anorak, Asos skinny belt, Madewell over-the-knee socks, Jeffrey Campbell platform sandal)

With the weather being in flux and a wardrobe divided I've decided to pair Summer pieces with early Fall staples.  I love the look of a belted, wispy dress outfitted with a military anorak to create that boy/girl tension.  The ribbed knee-high socks worn with the platforms add a certain quirkiness to the ensemble, but the suede and studs of the sandal still keep it sophisticated.

One item that I definitely intend on purchasing for Fall is a sherling-lined aviator jacket, but not one that forces me to default to eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day.  This one from Nastygal is completely on trend and retails for under $100 - a perfect mash up and easy on the purse strings.
