As we make our way into mid-August, a lot of people are over the heat and ready to think about autumn colors for their wardrobes + even collect some pumpkin decorations here and there. And hey, we're not complaining about it! But where do you start so the clothing you're purchasing for the next season can still be worn through the end of summer? Earthly essentials! 

Shades of white and brown are so much of what we're gravitating toward as we transition from summer to fall fashionista. And it's important to remember that temperatures are still high, so prioritizing comfortable fits just as much as earthy tones is key. We're talking peasant sleeves, flowy bottoms, and v-necklines to help keep you cool and stylish.

Darker shades of green are total earthy/fall vibes, especially when paired with neutrals. These dresses and skirt outfits are perfect for the "in-between stage" because they encompass both the floral beauty of summer and the earth-toned palette of fall. 

The queen of rustic hues has arrived! Wearing pumpkin orange through bold prints is the way to go when your thoughts are in fall, but your heart is still in summer. 

The words "artistic," "simple," and "adventurous" can be used to describe both the styles of bohemian and earthly. These stunning pieces will get you into a nature-loving mood and hype you up for the season to come.

We're not ready to kiss summer goodbye just yet, but such inspiring looks certainly make it easier!
