I’m not fairly able to admit that summer season is coming to an finish, however this New England gal is getting excited for tender knits and fall trend! I wished to share a couple of closet staples that I’ve been carrying usually over the summer season, and the way I’ll be transitioning them for cooler climate.
Closet Staple #1: Off White Denims
The “no white denims after Labor Day” is a complete factor of the previous, particularly if we’re speaking about tender ecru / off-white that are stunning for year-round!
Two off-white choices I’d advocate is that this Madewell type in Classic Canvas for a large leg cropped match, or this J.Crew pair in Ecru (on flash sale!) for a barely much less huge match with completed hems. With Madewell, simply FYI their petite denims are inclined to have extra of a mid-high rise, so if you need a better rise I’d go along with their common sizing and reduce the hems.

For summer season, I’ve been loving tender monochromatic pairings and utilizing metallics as an accent shade.
fall
Transitioning this look may be so simple as layering a protracted trench over your entire outfit, and I plan on taking part in round with a protracted sleeve layer underneath the sweater vest. I might additionally attempt including a chocolate brown belt (this shade & width is ideal!) and suede purse for deeper Fall hues and a few texture. Because the outfit is all stable colours, I like slightly sample within the sneakers or purse.
In case you’re not aware of this trench coat, simply be warned that it’s fairly outsized for petites and hits previous midi size on me. That being stated, I LOVE the type, weight and drape of the material and the way easy it feels in quite a lot of outfits. I normally tie the belt across the again to provide it some waist definition, and put on it open. Care-wise, I machine wash this on a delicate cycle and dangle dry with no points.
Closet Staple #2: Slip Skirt
I’ve executed a number of posts previously on how you can type a slip skirt, and my love for them has not waned one bit! Beneath I’ve on the Quince 100% silk skirt in xs which measures 12.5″ throughout the waist (elastic) and 28-29″ in size.
For one more possibility that I may be fully careless with: the Drop skirt (I take XXS) is a poly slip skirt that’s tremendous low-maintenance, wrinkle-resistant and nice for journey outfits.

The vest + slip skirt combo is a foolproof components while you need one thing understated and complex. This specific Aritzia vest has a shrunken match that matches small and slender for me throughout the bust, so I sized as much as a 0. I like to recommend sizing up if you’re above an A cup or between sizes to attenuate pulling on the chest buttons.
fall
There’s infinite potentialities for slip skirts heading into cool climate, however a simple one is a comfortable cardigan with sling again pumps or tall boots. I like the chunkier knit juxtaposed towards a clean and slinky backside!
Closet Staple #3: Striped button-up
summer season
A traditional blue & white stripe shirt is likely one of the most versatile items for a year-round capsule wardrobe. This Previous Navy one has a really outsized match that I’ve been preferring this yr, however for a extra traditional match, this light-weight silky cotton Everlane shirt is on sale and has been one among my staples for years.
Fall
I swapped out the white linen shorts for quite a lot of deeper impartial tones in the same shade household. These Aritzia cropped easy pants are superb for those who’re petite and work in a company workplace!
