It’s 98 degrees, but I want to talk about fall.

And I want to clarify: I AM NOT A SUMMER HATER. Quite the opposite: summer is my favorite season. NO summer erasure here. I promise.

That being said, I’ve launched fall fashion content onto my feeds the past few weeks, so I think it’s appropriate to discuss transitional style here, too, since I know a lot of us like to shop for fall things now.

BUT I don’t want to be completely unrealistic, so while it’s still warm AF, we can start implementing some fall trends while still staying cool.
