After my little Labor Day weekend online shopping spree (whoops!), I had a few packages full of wonderful, cozy fall clothes arrive at my doorstep. Sweaters. Long sleeved tops. Flannel. All of that goodness that become huge wardrobe staples as soon as the weather cools down. Only one problem… the weather hasn’t quite cooled down yet. My solution? Mix in fall colors, patterns and fabrics to make that shift from summer’s brights to the more neutral and textured pieces that tend to go into heavy rotation. And this top? I basically squealed when it arrived in the mail. Stripes AND leather details?! It could not be more perfect.
