Happy Monday! This weekend I got organized for fall while Jake applied for residency programs. I moved all of my fall clothes down from my off season rack in the closet. I did a little fall decorating and even had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season #basic! I can’t wait to share our fall decor soon.
If you’re from the South, you know it doesn’t get cold until late September or October at the earliest, so shorts are something I am still wearing. Right now, our weather is in the 80s and 90s. I am not quite ready to give up shorts just yet.
The trick to wear shorts into fall is to think dark colors and fall textures. Right now lace is HUGE, especially eyelash lace. I have seen it everywhere. When I put this outfit together for a casual surprise party, the first thing I grabbed was my lace cami. I also pulled out my suede wedges because suede is huge for fall, as normal. At night it’s a little cooler, so long cardigan is the perfect way to complete the look.
Layering necklaces is also a huge trend right now, so I layered my new Arlina Jo choker and lariat chain necklaces.
A little background about this brand, I feel extremely blessed to have connected with the owner, Frances. When we connected, she told me was her husband is a physician and was so encouraging about the steps from going to a med student to an attending physician. Connecting with med school and physician wives is always fun for me because they truly relate to the struggle. She has been so encouraging and it was nice to hear from someone whose husband is an attending physician and see the light at the end of the tunnel. You can find her story here.

Cute shorts! I try to stretch out short wearing season as long as possible. I can remember wearing shorts on Thanksgiving a few years back (I’m in North Carolina)!
Thank you so much! Yes, I grew up in Texas and we’ve had some Thanksgivings that I probably could’ve worn shorts too.
I have similar shorts. So cute. Love the simple cardigan over.
Thank you, Amber!
I love, love this cami! I was out of town this past weekend, but plan on getting out my fall clothes this coming weekend!!

Aw yay I look forward to seeing your upcoming fall looks <3
Usually we can wear shorts into fall but it has been unusually cool here this year! Maybe it will warm back up and we can sneak a few more weeks of shorts in before its full-time pants and leggings weather.
Our weather keeps going back and forth. Right now it’s definitely more shorts weather. I am looking forward to fall weather.
Totally agree with you about lace right now!! Those necklaces are SO pretty! I’ve been wanting some longer ones like that!
Thank you. Yes I’m loving layering right now.
The cutest cami!!!! Need it in my closet!
It would be so cute on you
Such a cute outfit! I love the detail on the shorts n cami!

I love this! Such a perfect way to transition shorts! I need a navy cardi!
Thanks, Courtney! <3 I hope your new job is going great.
I love this transitional fall look! xo
Thank you, Kelsey!!
I love your shorts! Normally where I live you could never wear shorts in September, but it’s been super hot lately. I’ll give your tips a try.
Thank you so much! Yes, you’ll have to try them with a cardigan or something <3 Thanks for stopping by.
Very cute outfit! And I love your tips for styling shorts into fall. The lace details are so beautiful! That is so cool you were able to meet another woman who knows the struggle of med school. I’ll definitely check out her site! Hope you’re having an awesome week!
Thank you so much, Lindsey. Yes it was fun to connect with her. Hope your week is great too.
Love this post! In California it’s just starting to cool down but still short weather. These outfits are perfect for that.
