Fall Fashion in 90 Degree Temperatures

Okay, so if you live in the south you're well aware that although it is fall, it is far from feeling like it! Fall is my favorite season and I just have no patience for waiting for the weather to catch up  - I am all about drinking my pumpkin spice latte, lighting my fall candles,  and watching Hocus Pocus for the millionth time all autumn long! October is my favorite month of the year and I start channeling fall vibes at least by mid September. So how on earth do you do that when its still summer temps outside?? For me, its all about finding fall colors and neutrals with the right patterns/textures for fall. That way, I feel like I'm dressing for the season without dying in this Georgia heat. 

This top is such a favorite because if you know me, you know how much I love black and white patterns. It looks instantly chic with anything, but paired with these dark green jeans it creates the perfect fall color palette. Add a stack of gold bangles and some more gold accessories and you're good to go enjoy the spirit of fall even in these warm temperatures!

P.S.  - I've worn these sandals for 2 straight summers and I've just about worn them into the ground - but this wood grain & gold combo  transitions perfectly into fall!
