Transitioning From Summer to Fall with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge.  This month Rosemary suggested we look at how we transition from summer to fall. We've already had a couple of cool days here and all my shorts are all packed away.

One of my favorite ways to transition my wardrobe from summer to fall is to add in lots of cardigans. I tend to wear them with my capri pants, a tank top, and my flip flops. 




That way, when it warms up mid-day I can take off my cardigan and I'm still all set for our warmer afternoons.

    I like the oatmeal-y colored one from the first set of pictures. It looks neutral yet fall paired with the other items.

      Thank you! I just bought that one when we went to comedy show earlier this month (I was freezing in the air conditioning and didn't have anything warmer packed so we went shopping!).

    Yes! I basically use them as my jacket for a while. I really could use a few more neutral colored cardigans.

    Cardigans are a wonderful way to take summer wardrobes into fall. Love that first cozy cardigan so much!

    I am looking forward to the days of layers! I have been able to wear some very lightweight sweaters for part of the day.

      I'm mostly wearing light layers for now but it sounds like it's going to cool off a lot in the next week or so.

    Looks great! I'm ready to break out the cardigans but it's still too hot so far. I'm gonna have to find some maternity jeans now.

    Cardigans are great additions to an outfit! I have bought a few in different colors. I love that cream-colored one you are wearing.

    I like the way you are hanging onto that last bit of summer with your flip-flop/thong-type sandals. Around here the AC can be miserably cold from March to November, so I almost always grab a cardi when we go out. PC makes fun but I cannot stand to be cold. My favorite look is the pink top with cuffed jeans and white sweater. You surely look pretty in pink.

      That's actually how I ended up with the first cardigan; I was freezing when we went to the comedy show earlier in the month and we ended up hitting up the outlet stores looking for a cardigan for me to wear since I just couldn't imagine being cold all night.

    I agree with cardigans as being one of the best ways to transition to fall! I used to wear my sandals right into November when I was teaching. One of my parents thought I was crazy! But, my feet were always hot! Love all these looks, Joanne!

      It has gotten quite chilly here these past few days so I'm pretty sure my days of wearing tank tops with my cardigans are over but I'll definitely be wearing those cardigans all fall and winter long.

    Yes to all the cardigans! I've had the chance to wear mine a few times in the morning recently, but now we're back to 95 degrees again! Sigh. I can't wait to wear my cardigans more often!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Favorite Moments and Memories of 2024

Image
 Oh 2024... it was a challenging year for sure but we had so many fabulous moments and memories. I fully admit that many of my favorite memories this year have no pictures-- like Easter dinner with the family, Alec's acceptance day at JWU, etc. But I am more interested in being present these day then I am in getting the exact perfect photo. In January  we started the year with a big family breakfast out to lunch before my sister and nephews headed home. It's an awful picture but we were all laughing because my mom tried 4 times to get us all in there! Then a week or so later my husband and I did get to go on our cruise (we weren't sure right up until the last minute since my mother in law was in the hospital just before we left).  Roatan Grand Cayman We celebrated Alec's 18th birthday nearly a full month late in  February but he didn't mind. Evan got his license in February. And we checked out a new hiking trail. Alec presented his Senior Culinary Arts Project (SC...

Share 4 Somethings in December

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer. We're flying home (if all goes well with our connections we should be home tomorrow morning-- though I am REALLY worried about the "adjustment" the airline company made so we now have a much shorter connection time than we planned!) so this wrap up is pretty much all about our trip to Hawaii!  Once again we'll be sharing some things we've  loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed. Loved/Disliked:  We LOVED our Hawaii trip but we really disliked those long flights/travel days! sunset Maui top of Haleakala summit; Haleakala National park road to Hana Whales spotted on our snorkel tour, Maui botanical gardens; Maui Both our rentals had beautiful sunset views! volcano national park; Hawaii the volcano began erupting less than 2 days before we got there we hiked out to a green sand beach touring ...

Favorite Outfits from 2024

Image
 I thought I'd do something a little different this year and share some of my favorite outfits from each month of the year.  I got to wear some fun and bright spring/summer clothes on our cruise in January.   Then it was back home to sweater and pants.  It was well into April before I finally started packing away winter clothes and brought out some spring stuff.  But May found me mostly wearing long sleeves and pants.. still..  June finally warmed up and I wore everything-- shorts, skirts, dresses, capri pants, t-shirts, tank tops, etc.  July was pretty warm too August was really rainy and cooled off fast by the end of the month September started cooling off so I pulled out more pants  October's weather was all over the place with everything from frost and freezing temps to weather in the 80's.  November was kind of all over the place too weather-wise.  December really started to feel like winter again
