As much as some of us refuse to admit it, fall is really just around the corner. Back to school, crunchy leaves, and fresh apples are closer than you might think. However, before fall, there comes the dreaded transition. Too cold for your fun summer tanks and too hot for your cozy sweaters. Well with these tips, this change will be easy breezy, and getting dressed every day will be a no brainer.

1.) Layers are your friend - The temperature is bound to fluctuate, and wearing a cute tank with a light cardigan will be the smartest solution. Take the sweater off when it gets warmer, and throw it back on when the breeze kicks in.

2.) Add in fall colors - Wearing cooler items, like a sundress or tank top in fall colors makes the change in season less abrupt.

3.) Lightweight sleeves - Long sleeves in a lightweight material will keep you warm enough without making you too hot. When it's time to really breakout the sweaters, the difference won't seem as drastic.

4.) Denim is your best accessory - Whether it's a denim jacket, denim shirt, or a great pair of jeans, the fabric is great for the transition into fall because it's not too heavy. Adding a denim piece to your favorite summer outfit is the perfect way to start incorporating fall.

We are seeing a lot of big and flowing sleeves in and out of the store recently, even in these hot summer months. The trend picked up last year, and we think it's here to stay. But why has it taken over so quickly?

A flared sleeve might make you think of some throwback styles (a la The Brady Bunch), but the reason the style is around today is because we love the unexpected twist to a summer wardrobe and the figure flattering shape.

A new and modern way of thinking has come about that changes the way the world views beauty. Showing skin is not the only way to be sexy these days. Modest clothing that has a perfect fit paired with a confident attitude can be just as pretty and just as sexy as any little dress.

What do you think about the flared sleeve trend?

When you throw on a beautiful dress with a tie at the waist, your first thought might me to secure it in the traditional bow. While that classic style will never die, something I have been loving lately is a simple knot tied there instead. Letting the tails hang down makes it so the waistline is less bulky and more streamline, and it just has a neater look in general. (No retying your bow to get it absolutely perfect!)

Let us know what you think of the style?

PS: Both of these dresses are available in the store!
