I bought this top during a little spree at Madewell in NYC, because birthday shopping has special rules (namely: I am special on my birthday, so I buy whatever I want because I’m a grownup with a job). I like how it’s light and short-sleeved but has some autumnal colors thrown in.

Like I said in my last post, I’m all for transitioning seasons however you damn well please. That said, if you happen to be looking for ideas on what to wear in late summer when it’s still sticky but you’re feeling the pumpkin love, I personally like to start with mixing in some darker colors. It could even just be a lipstick – this one has a brownish tint, so I usually save it for fall/winter, while coral feels right in spring/summer. Again, just me, and what do I know – I’m just one of those stupid influencers.

You know it’s late summer when you impulse-buy a new bathing suit and a pair of shooties in the same Target trip. (I don’t know if “shooties” is the official fashion term for these shoe/bootie hybrid things, but it sounds just obnoxious enough to be right.)

Speaking of pre-fall, let me just go on the record and say: If you want to drink your pumpkin spice latte when it’s still 85 degrees outside, do it. If you want to keep wearing jean shorts through October, do that. There is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women, so I just want you to know – I support you, girl. And I hope you’ll support me when I’m wearing shooties on the beach.
