I don't know about you guys, but it's been getting into the 80's here in New York this week. Which I'm not complaining, it's been absolutely beautiful and I'm still holding on to the last few days of summer! (I'm a Florida girl at heart.) But when it's the end of September, you want to start wearing your fall wardrobe. Here's how to do it without sweating bullets in full on jeans and sweaters just yet. The key is to find one or two fall items, whether it's a jacket, ankle boots, hat or flannel shirt to give your look that touch of fall paired with pieces that still keep you cool. I put together this military jacket, which is perfect for this season, with distressed jean shorts for a casual weekend outfit. Style tip: I started wearing my jacket in a new way by rolling up the sleeves. You can also rock this look with boyfriend jeans and ankle boots when the temperatures drop a little more. I got my jacket maybe 5 years ago at Urban Outfitters but there are so many similar options in stores right now (including a variety of cute styles at Urban Outfitters). In fact, Old Navy has one at the moment for $39.94...now that's a good deal!
