The Southern Thing: Fall Transition Pieces

It may still be 90 degrees outside, but I'd be lying if I said fall wasn't the main thing on my mind these days. I've had my first pumpkin spiced latte of the season, the fall candles have been lit, football has kicked off, and now I'm just waiting for the first cold front to arrive so I can bust out my fall-ish wardrobe.

Fall in the south is about as bipolar as the rest of the seasons around here, so it can be tricky to dress accordingly. It may start off cold in the morning, but then by mid day it's warmed up significantly, and then by night it's cold again. The easiest way I've found to transition into the fall is to have a few go to fall transition pieces that can work in chilly or semi warm climates.

My must have fall transition pieces include ankle booties, fringe scarves (bc you can't go wrong with fringe in the fall), tassel necklaces & beaded bracelets, and a dark luggage handbag. Luggage brown is always my fall shoe and handbag color of choice. It's a great alternative for when you're not quite ready to bust out the winter blacks and it's easy to style and dress up dark or light.

Speaking of dressing light, I may be in the minority here, but I still wear my whites, regardless of the season. Winter whites are a thing, so why can't fall whites be a thing too!? White and luggage brown go great together, in my opinion, and I love knowing I can still pull it off. I also love having a peace of mind when pulling off a white outfit when it's that time of the month. I know I can count on o.b. Pro Comfort to have my back here with it's custom-fit protection that locks in leaks. They're so compact that I can hide them in the palm of my hand, but the small size comes with peace of mind and security. It's one less thing to worry about with the bipolar southern weather. Going from hot to cold is enough to deal with.

With the right transition pieces, you can be prepared for any sudden weather change without sweating or freezing. Don't ignore the accessories this time of the year. They will be seasonal life savers!
