As the warm weather season gradually comes to an end, many fashionistas find themselves asking “what to wear?’ during the transition. And while the calendar date says it’s time to breakout those luscious sweaters and sexy knee boots, a balmy Indian Summer may prove otherwise.
Shop in your own closet and repurpose some of those summer go-to pieces with a few fall-themed items. This will keep you looking stylish, in season — and you don’t have to spend a dime.
S&P offers a few tips on how to get extra mileage from your maxi dress, distressed jeans and sleeveless minidress:
If you’re going to wear a maxi dress into late-September, the simple solution is to tone it down. Cover up those bare shoulders with a lightweight cardigan, and opt for peeptoe pumps or flats instead of sandals.

While fashionable, wearing ripped up jeans past early-October is just plain crazy (in our opinion). Before it’s time to bid them adieu, throw on a tunic and some sky-high heels for one last strut.

Looking for ways to rock a sleeveless minidress? Wear it with a 3/4-sleeve top underneath, load up on funky accessories and finish the look with vibrant peeptoe booties.
