We have a new team member, James, who brings to the team a ton of talent and energy. James first connected with us through Madison College where he takes classes in the Fashion Marketing program. He brings so much to the Upshift family, mostly his infectious personality, humor, and incredible fashion sense. He is unbelievably talented at putting outfits together for mannequins and offering style advice to our customers. Additionally, he is a designer (look at his outfit on any given day and chances are he made it) as well as a social media guru (watch for his videos on our instagram). Ok, enough gushing about this guy, come on down and check out all the new items he puts out daily and to chat with him yourself, you won't regret either decision!
This is a weird time of year when it comes to fashion and weather. It's technically time to start wearing fall-inspired pieces (post Labor Day/Back-to-School), however it's still warm out, like, really really warm out. Even if temps drop to the 70's or 60's it's still warm enough to go with short sleeves.
So, we in the fashion world call this a "transitional" month, meaning you have to utilize your items from the previous season and use some trickery to transition them to the next season. So, during this transitional month we're taking our favorite summer pieces and adding a little twist to get you through until that beautiful blast of fall weather hits.
Here you go, four transitional looks to help you this month (ahem, just add layers to everything you love from your summer wardrobe.)
If you love your favorite strapless dress (and who doesn't) then add ....
A granny cardigan with pointy flats, both in darker tones.
Take your favorite chiffon top, with front crop tie and add...
Longer shorts, a scarf, belt, and leather platforms. All in darker tones.
If you can't yet pack away that awesome summer frock, then add...
Animal print and a cute brown cover up, with pearls of course.
Everyone has that favorite white flowy top for summer... to transition it to fall add....
Flowy tribal pants, tweed shoes, and a dark layering tank.
It's that simple, it's all about layering and adding fall colors in richer, dark tones. Voile, now go forth and be fabulous this transitional month.
