The List (No. 1)

It's still officially summer, but fall is oh so close... I can feel it.

I've always loathed "fall colors" because they're just blah. However, one of my favorite color combinations right now is cognac + navy. It's perfect for these transitional months because it has a fall-feel but can be executed in lightweight/summery pieces.

Throw this blazer over your summer go-to jean shorts and white tee for a more polished look.

Another killer combo is a pair of distressed jeans and a sleeveless top layered with a long-line vest. Wear it with a heeled sandal for now // switch to a flared-leg jean, a long-sleeve tee and this ankle boot when the temps drop.  

If you need a place to start, a classic cognac bag like this one from Madewell is always a win.
