My Fall Skirt Picks
Hello Fall! Today marks the official start of Fall with the autumn equinox. To be technical, the equinox doesn’t actually start until 9:03 PM Eastern tonight. And today’s beautifully warm, summer-like day seems to know that fact. With temps in the high 80s, my attempt to style a summer maxi skirt for fall is squarely set with one foot in summer and one in fall, because, well, it's about that time to start thinking about my Fall skirt picks.

My Fall Skirt Picks
1. Kusama Tiered Pleated Maxi Skirt
(Madewell)
You might recall this skirt I scored from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This skirt is the Kusama Tiered Pleated Maxi Skirt by Madewell and there are still a few sizes left. But if your size is not available, I have rounded up a few similar options:
Madewell Maxi Skirt (Nordstrom) | Petite Floral Midi Skirt (Loft) | Seamed Floral Midi Skirt (Madewell)
Relaxed Cashmere T Shirt (J.Crew) | Madewell Kusama Tiered Pleated Maxi Skirt (Nordstrom) | (Similar) Madewell Maxi Skirt (Nordstrom) | (Similar) Petite Floral Midi Skirt (Loft) | Seamed Floral Midi Skirt (Madewell) | Intentionally Blank Leather Mar Mule Sandals (Madewell)
Maxi skirts like this one, with neutral colors and a sweet floral pattern lend themselves perfectly well to year round wear. I look forward to styling this skirt with boots and sweater for when the temps get chilly. I love the tiers and pleated details on this skirt. These features in the design give the skirt great movement.

2. Relaxed Cashmere T Shirt
(J.Crew)
Today, I am styling this skirt with the Relaxed Cashmere Tee Shirt from J.Crew. I have a couple of these cashmere tees and I love them! They are so versatile; a perfect layer adding just the right amount of texture. Plus, they have the casual look of a tee shirt but the cashmere gives it just a little extra polish. Since I am a tee shirt and jeans girl at heart, I love to have a more polished tee shirt-like option to rotate in my wardrobe.

Last week I professed my love for clogs. I am sharing my love for them again today with an open toe version from a brand called Intentionally Blank, sold through Madewell. I am a bit of a sucker for retro-style shoes and these are definitely retro! The Intentionally Blank Leather Mar Mules Sandals come in this grass green color and the more neutral Russet color.

3. Leather Mar Mule Sandals
(Madewell)
The grass green color of my sandals coordinates with the leaves of the flower pattern on the skirt. I love to play with color in this way; pulling out a color in a pattern and coordinating that with my accessories. Whether it’s a matching color like this, or a complimentary color, it’s just a fun way to think about and emphasize color in an outfit.
Out at the lake on a warm day, it’s hard to reckon that fall is officially upon us. It’s time to begin my annual closet rotation; moving my espadrilles and summer shoes to the higher reaches of my closet, swapping their placement with loafers, booties and closed toe shoes; summer dresses to the back, pants to the front. But for just another few moments, I will enjoy this last bit of summer sun.

Kelly, you look adorable, as usual. I love the relaxed vibe of your tiered skirt. I think that style in general is flattering and timeless. Your shoes are awesome also!
Have a great day ushering in a new season ~
Hi Carolina Girl, It’s so hard to get into fall with the temperatures still in the high 80s and 90s! I love this skirt style too, maxi skirts are so flirty and romantic. Thanks for stopping by today! xo Kelly
