Late Summer? Early Fall? OUTFIT

If you haven't been able to tell, I really love summer -- beaches, sailing, sundresses, barbeques, VACATION -- but I also really love Fall. Quite the dilemma. To make matters worse, I'm a teacher and we're supposed to live for summer and dread the fall -- but not me. As both a student and a teacher, I've always loved buying "new school clothes!"

Though this has been one of the best summers of recent years, I'm really excited about the fall mostly for fashion reasons. My personal fall closet is looking pretty fab, and my Etsy Fall line is looking even better (only if I could be an XS-XL all at once!).

Here are some of my early fall/later summer pieces plus some other pieces from Etsy and beyond that I'd style with them!
