It's officially Autumn!
Okay, not really...
Autumn (in Scotland) officially starts on the 22nd, but early September always feels like autumn to me (despite it being 20 degrees today, and the warmest it's been for ages!)
Today feels like the perfect time to think about my favourite Summer outfits.
{Click through the links in the titles to read the original posts}
Please feel free to disagree with my choices!
I would love to hear your opinion.1. Difficult Clothes
This outfit is so colourful and comfortable.
What more could you ask from your clothes?
It would also make a great autumn outfit too.
In fact, add a warm coat, hat and boots and you've got winter sorted!
2. Floral Jumpsuit
This is another outfit that could easily transition (with a few tweaks) into autumn and on to winter.
In fact, a jumpsuit is one of THE most versatile pieces you could own.
Especially in a dark-based pattern and a substantial fabric.
Layer up or strip down for any weather!
3. Black and White Striped Jumpsuit
Another jumpsuit and another easily transitioned outfit... is there a theme developing?!
4. Short Shorts... for Work!
Okay... the 'an outfit for all seasons' theme is blown out of the water here!
It was SO hot.
Absolute bliss for the normally drizzle-hardy Scottish people.
I was in heaven.
5. A Twin Set and a Mini Skirt.
Oh, how I love this skirt!
It's flirty and ruffly and a little too short.
What the heck!
Life's too short NOT to wear the short skirt.
6. Outfit Formula... White Jeans and a Blazer.
Back to the "This could be transitioned into Autumn" rhetoric.
But it's true!
White jeans can be worn any time of year.
I've worn them in the depths of winter!
7. Trends to Regret... OTT Ruffles!
This outfit was my favourite of the season!
Such a simple selection of pieces but each of them a little special.This amazing vintage blouse.
Spray on jeans.
My (current) favourite sandals.
And, this beautiful vintage bag.
There is no bold colour but the blouse easily elevates this look from a potential "meh" to something with attitude!
Do you agree with my choices and my favourite (number 7)?
Did I miss anything?

I like all of them, even if my favorite is number 1 (those culottes look so fab!). I like particularly all the possibilities to wear summer clothes in the autumn, versatility!
ReplyDeletebesos
Yes Monica! They're so versatile aren't they? XXX
DeleteI do love all of your favorites and I think I agree that #7 is best, but I do really love your culottes outfit so very much, too! You rock the bright colors better than most!

Those coral culottes have stolen my heart Samantha. They're totally me too, so do keep me in mind if you ever fall out of love with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying hard not to acknowledge the changing season, but I'm sure in a couple of weeks time I'll have caught up with your transitional dressing theme. Love all of your summer wardrobe btw!
Hope you've had a great blast of sunshine to keep your vitamin D levels topped up! My sisters say they've had real summer up there this year.
Take care sweetie,
Anna x
It's been great Anna and SO unusual!
DeleteI'm all topped up on the old vitamin D :oP
I appreciate you are still a little warmer than us and although it's still warm(ish) during the day here the mornings are cold ...I could see my breath yesterday!
I'm excited to get my boots and tights looked out though.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Whoa, hadn't seen those silver shorts! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha... why thank you Nancy!! XXX
DeleteI'm quite taken with the white pants and blazer look. You made it really classic/cool with color and accessories Sam!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Judy!

Your favorite is my favorite too...though I also really like the white jeans w lilac tee and violet blazer!
ReplyDeleteThought we've had a few chilly, blustery days here it looks like the heat and humidity is returning, so summer fashion lives on in NY!
