Something strange happened the other day...I stepped outside of my apartment (running late as usual) in an A line summer dress and I noticed something...IT WAS COLD. A bit later into the day the weather warmed up but that first chilly morning took me by surprise. Living in GA usually means summer until at least October but it seems this year fall is paying us an early visit! So what is the fashionista on a budget to do until she can afford to stock up her closet for the winter? Buy a couple of key pieces to transition her summer clothes into fall mode of course! Here are some quick fixes for those first mild fall days.
Normal summer outfit: Tank, shorts, sandals
Fall solution: Add a vest and some classy flats to look less beach and more chic
My suggestions:
Flats-Target $12.99 Vest-Charlotte Russe $24.99
Normal summer outfit: A cute sundress
Fall solution:add a cropped button down cardigan, a relaxed fit open cardigan or a fun fitted hoodie for a more eclectic vibeMy suggestions: of course my picks are lace and leopard print-i figured neutral colors like black gray and white would be best to offset bright summer dresses-but feel free to purchase these styles in brighter colors if you're feeling bold! ;)cropped lace print cardigan- Wet Seal $17.50 (available in plus size online)
leopard print relaxed fit cardigan-Charlotte Russe $19.99floral lace Accent hoodie-Forever 21 $19.80 
Normal summer outfit: T shirt flip flops and skinny jeansFall solution: wind a long printed scarf around your neck and slip on some classic tennis shoes in an eye catching shade
My suggestions:
scarf-Old Navy $19.99 shoes-Converse $45.00
Normal Summer outfit: Tank and a high waisted skirt
Fall solution: add a shrunken blazer for a polished look
My suggestion:
Concord Buttoned Jacket-Forever 21 24.80
**Tip: look in stores like Goodwill for unique jackets and vests. I found the cutest striped blazer for about $5Armed with these pieces you'll be counting down the days until the leaves start to change ;)
