The time between seasons can be tricky when it comes to fashion.  The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Chicago.  Here is one of my go-to outfits for transitioning from summer to fall.  Switch the shorts for a pair of jeans and you’ve got a perfect autumn outfit, too!

1. J. Crew City Mini.  These skirts are so comfortable and versatile, and they look absolutely adorable!  J. Crew makes them in new colors and fabrics every season.
2. H&M Jersey Tank Dress.  A wardrobe staple, this dress can be styled for work with some tights and a cardigan, or dressed down with heels for going out.
3. Black Lululemon Leggings.  These are so comfortable, and they’re thick enough to wear as pants.  Because anyone who doesn’t believe leggings are pants doesn’t have the right leggings.
4. Black Ballet Flats.  Simple, black flats will never go out of style, and you can wear them with anything!
5. Chambray Shirt.  These tops are so versatile: wear one with leggings, or throw on an unbuttoned one over a dress.

What are your wardrobe staples?

My first class of the day was ballet.  I haven’t danced in YEARS so it wasn’t pretty.  But I remembered more than I thought I would, which was nice!  It felt so great to get back in the studio.  I love the focus, calm and happiness that comes with completing a ballet class.  It’s like, “Okay, I’m ready for the day!”

After ballet I had two more classes.  I ate this apple sometime.  I took a photo of it, intending to photograph my food today, but then my phone betrayed me and made a loud “CLICK” noise when I took the photo and people stared and I gave up and abandoned that idea.

After class, I came home and did some homework.  Gotta love it when professors assign homework before the first class even happens.

I didn’t take a photo of my outfit, but I liked it today!  It’s basically what I wear to class every. single. day.  Comfy and practical.  Here is a version of it without me in it.
