Summer Finally Passed the Baton to Fall: Time to Get Your Closet Ready for the Change in Weather

Summer Finally Passed the Baton to Fall: Time to Get Your Closet Ready for the Change in Weather

There’s something magical about the moment when summer quietly hands things over to fall. The air feels crisper, the days get shorter, and suddenly you’re craving cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and weekend strolls through farmers markets.

But before you pull out your favorite boots and pumpkin spice candle, it’s time for a little closet refresh. Fall is all about layering, texture, and versatility — and getting your wardrobe ready now means you’ll sail smoothly through the season in comfort and style.

🌸 Step 1: Start with a Closet Edit

Take a quick inventory.

  • Pack away those sundresses and linen pants (but keep a few light layers handy for warm afternoons).

  • Make space for your fall staples — jeans, cardigans, and those easy throw-on jackets that pull every look together.
    Stylist Note: As you pack away summer pieces, note what didn’t get worn. That’s your cue to donate or sell those items and make room for what truly fits your lifestyle.

🌸 Step 2: Build Your Fall Capsule

Fall is all about effortless layering. You don’t need a full wardrobe overhaul — just a few key pieces that mix, match, and multitask. Think:

  • A soft, neutral cardigan (great for work or weekend errands).

  • A pair of flattering jeans or wide-leg pants.

  • Lightweight knits and boxy tees for layering.

  • A chic jacket that works with both dresses and denim.
    Add in rich seasonal hues like wine, sage green, chocolate, and tan to keep your looks warm and cozy.

🌸 Step 3: Accessorize for the Season

Swap out your straw tote for a leather crossbody. Layer delicate gold jewelry over sweaters. And don’t forget scarves — the perfect blend of cozy and polished.


🌸Step 4: Refresh Your Everyday Outfits

It’s the perfect time to revisit your outfit formulas. For our busy women-on-the-go, we love the “3-piece rule”:

  • A base outfit (jeans + tee)
  • A third layer (cardigan or blazer)
  • A finishing touch (accessory or statement shoe)

Simple, stylish, and ready for anything fall brings your way.

🌸Step 5: Shop Smart for the Season Ahead

When you do add to your wardrobe, focus on quality basics that mix and match easily. Curbside Boutique is bringing in new pieces designed to help you mix and match with ease. It’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe — replace those worn-out favorites with soft, versatile styles that make getting dressed comfortable, effortless, and stylish. — think cozy knits, neutral layers, and timeless pieces that transition beautifully from day to night.

This fall, your style story is all about comfort meeting confidence. Let’s make your closet feel like the season — warm, intentional, and perfectly you.
