Shop My Outfit:
Happy Monday! Since September will already be here on Saturday (which I can barely believe), I am finally ready to share my first transitional fall look…although realistically the weather here in Birmingham won’t be cooling down for a while. With the weather still warm, I like to still dress for the season, but in lightweight attire. I am all about patterns, especially florals. Believe it or not, you can transition bright florals into fall, too.
I wore this floral look on Friday to dinner. Jake had the day off on Saturday, so we went to dinner on Friday night at a popular new local restaurant, Blueprint on 3rd. Trying new restaurants is our favorite and we were very impressed with Blueprint on 3rd’s food and service. With Jake only getting 4 days off a month, anytime off time together is extra precious to me. I decided I wanted to wear florals on Friday, but also make them transitional. I wore this SheIn bodysuit. The key to transitioning florals is to add neutrals like black, brown, navy, or cognac. I decided to play up some of the black in the pattern. When it gets cooler outside, I will be adding a leather jacket like the one I did in these pictures.
P.S. This bodysuit is very low cut, so you have to be careful and add a top under it. It does run true to size, but I recommend pinning it.
I can’t believe that top is a body suit – such a pretty print! And I’m SO not ready for Fall. It is still way too hot!

It really doesn’t look like one. Thank you so much. Oh gosh I know, it’s so hot here too. I am glad at least at night its bearable.
I love wearing florals all year! Its a great way to brighten up your look during the drab days at the end of fall and beginning of winter.

I agree! It really does brighten my day even if it’s freezing.
This is such a beautiful top! I don’t think we should be afraid to wear florals in fall at all!

Cute outfit! Your tips are spot on! And I love that your top is a bodysuit. I’ve always wanted to try a bodysuit!

Thank you so much, Lindsey! They are so nice to wear with skirts because they stay tucked in. You should try one.
Hi Courtney, it is hard to believe that summer is fading away!! I guess it will stay warmer where you are a bit longer than here. That is so creative to use a bodysuit . it looks so nice , I love the colors! It looks great with the skirt , and the jacket will look really nice with the look when it does cool enough for you. I am glad you and Jake got out to eat . You have to take advantage when you can! Hugs, Terri xo.

Hi Terri! I cannot believe it either. I am ready for cool weather, but it sounds like we won’t get it until maybe October. Thank you so much. It was a nice weekend. We really do take advantage of anytime we can together.
