Now that fall is almost upon us, it might be hard to put away those fabulous spring and summer dresses you’d waited all winter to wear.  Make the switch easy by making them a part of your wardrobe next season!  The key is smart layering.  Wear a turtleneck or long-sleeve tee underneath along with either tights or leggings.  For chillier days, cover up with a chic cropped leather jacket.  Balance the look with platform heels or your new fall booties.

Did you notice a little theme going in these last blogposts?  Well, fall is definitely here in the world of fashion, but many of our thermometers are still showing summer temps.  Luckily seeing all those new fall items that you think you can’t wear yet will help you take inventory of what you’ll need when the forecast starts showing truer signs of cooler weather.

So one way to make the transition between seasons now is by wearing clothes that straddle both summer and fall.  Let’s start with cardigans! You know we love talking about layers at WeareverTheWeather.com, so we can’t think of a better place to start. Read the rest of this entry »

We love that feeling when you just love, love, love a fabulous have-to-have for your wardrobe right off the bat.  That’s how we felt when we laid eyes on these flats by Dollhouse.  The chic boho feel of the colorful snakeskin texture with a border of silver pallets will make this your go-to shoe for most of your fall wardrobe.

Travelistas, this can be your favorite travel shoe, too – from the plane to site-seeing and everything in between.  Try ‘em on with minis, leggings, your new fall shorts, and your favorite skinny jeans.  And at $39.50, they’re a total bargain.

Leave it to New Orleans to provide a supercool (literally) tradition like White Linen Night!  When there was no air conditioning way back when, merchants got together and held a block party around dusk to night to encourage people to come out, sample wares, shop, eat, drink, and socialize.  Why white linen?  It’s light, airy, and doesn’t absorb the sun like darker colors do, helping people keep cool as they hung out.  Today, the tradition (which takes place in NOLA’s Warehouse Arts District) continues the first week of August each year and with more of an emphasis on the arts.  Houston’s Heights area even has their own version that plays perfectly into the historical and walkable area’s charm.

Baseball season is in “full swing,” so make sure you look like your fashionable self as opposed to one of the boys.  You CAN stylishly show off your spirit!

Keep in mind that you will be going up and down stairs so flats, street sneakers or sandals / flip-flops are a great option.  If you want to add a little more heat to your kicks, try a wedge sandal.  The completely flat surface will help you keep your balance but still look good in those shorts or skirts!

Just because the weather outside is blah doesn’t mean your umbrella has to be!  When people can’t see what you’re wearing on rainy days this summer, make a style statement when you’re under cover.

It’s easy to forget how something as useful as an umbrella can also act as an accessory.  There is no better way to spread some much needed cheer on a gray day than strolling the streets with a beautiful, giant flower or a photographic image of Paris that you can get lost in.
