Think of the merge
Your closet should
already be arranged
by seasonal flow, but
in case it isn’t, do not
get lost in owning too
much of a good thing.
When doing your
end of the summer
shopping take into
consideration what
you can blend into
your fall wardrobe.
What is going to
work with what you
already have? What
style looks will wear
just as well in fall as
they did in summer?
Summer sale shoppers must be mindful
of the merge that has
to happen what’s it
begins to cool down.
You will throw on a
warm sweater or a
light jacket and want
it to look as great with
that summer tank as it
did without any cover
up. Check your closet
before you buy the
rack.

Some colors are just not easy to blend into a fall wardrobe.
Summer neons can clash in a major way with falls warming
tones. Make sure your summer sale shopping has you picking up basics to finish out the summer and blend with your
autumn favorites. Now is the time to purchase those fall
colored tanks to go under your tops and jackets. This helps
to keep you warm and makes summer last a little longer.
Leave the trends

THE BASICS

Unless this summer had a trend that you
never want to live without, leave the trends
in the store. With every season bringing in
something new you don’t want to get stuck
with something you only bought because
you thought it looked cute in the moment.
History, whether it is repeating or forgotten, has proven that trends will change as
fashion evolves. If you buy too much of
one thing and end up having to store it, you
will only buy more the following summer.
Smart shoppers think ahead.
