Indian Summer: Styling the in-between season

So, Labor day is gone, the kiddos are back in school and the sun is setting earlier.  But, with temps still soaring into the mid-80's around the country, it's impossible to throw on your cozy fall favorites (HELLOO sweaty!).

While we can all agree that white is, in fact, allowed post Labor day nowadays, something still feels weird about wearing it with pastels, neons and florals past September 1.  But don't pack it in storage just yet! Indian Summer is the best time to get creative.

Try layering summer whites with plaid shirts, light earth-toned knits or the ever-classic jean jacket.

Summer dresses are definitely still fair game...but instead of sandals, try wearing them with knee high boots and a long cardigan.

 It's a great time to break out colors like hunter green, beige and navy in lightweight fabrics, to fill the void where summer brights once lived.

 Basically the rule is: just have fun enjoying every last drop of this gorgeous in-between season!
