The night comes earlier, the exceedingly warm temperature drops with the sun, football has started, and the kids are back at school... for some, this means fall has arrived. But on the West Coast, it's the beginning of our Indian Summer. Until about October, Southern California receives some of the best weather in the hemisphere. It is a time when summer wear and fall early arrivals are blended to create comfortable versatile looks that will take you from the office to happy hour. Where cooling down at the end of the day doesn't mean the evenings aren't hot. A time when people cherish the after work cocktail and any hopes of catching a glimpse of summer warmth after a long day locked up in the office. Leisure time is encouraged, and for those working it is minimal, but savored.
For those of us fortunate enough to have this slow, drawn out summer weather, celebrate by making a statement. Don't just recycle your summer basics and denim cut off's. Now that the sun is setting earlier and the warm weather cools down quicker, try bringing back into rotation some dark jeans, flowy tops, and leather accent pieces. You may not be able to sport a sweater or coat quite yet, but the cool night allow us to utilize some extra layers and heavier materials in our choices. Handbags start to get bigger again too, which is a relief to those who keep their purses full of on-the-go goodies, or those jetting out after work. After you clear your desk at the office, let your hair back down and play with accessories like hats and headbands. Put on a cropped jacket or a light blouse and hit the town. Step out in heels, ankle booties, or funky ballet flats; whatever will keep you on your feet through the night. All you gotta make sure is your home at a reasonable hour to get some beauty rest before work tomorrow... But have some fun. After all, tis the season.
