What I Actually Wore: 12 Casual Outfits

We are starting the slow decline from summer into fall. I’m adding a layer to most of my outfits and we’re starting to see the trees change colors and the nights are beginning to get cooler. I already miss summer because where I live it seemed so short this year. We had a mostly cool June and a pretty cool August as well (the Farmer’s Almanac did predict that and I was hoping it wouldn’t be the case), so we really only had July for good summer weather. But alas, I do love fall and all that comes with it. I am obviously especially excited for fall fashion–denim, boots, scarves, jackets and more! Before we get there though, we have to have some transitional outfits. Check out these 12 summer to fall transitional outfits I’ve worn lately.

12 Transitional Casual Outfits I’ve Worn Lately

It’s time for another outfit round up! We made it through my son’s tonsil and adenoid removal and recovery, and he was such a champ about it all. We are SO happy to be through all of that and on the other side. Most of these outfits are ones I wore during all of that, as we spent quite a bit of time at home. There are many casual and comfy looks with a few dressier ones mixed in.
