August’s Color Palette

As summer lingers but the first hints of fall begin to creep in, it’s the perfect time to weave richer tones into your wardrobe without sacrificing comfort in the heat. Burgundy, olive, and camel create a chic late-summer palette that feels seasonally forward while still breathable and versatile on an 80-degree day. Think airy fabrics and transitional silhouettes in these earthy hues—pieces that nod to autumn ahead but keep you cool and polished right now.

• This dress is the answer to your "what do I wear" woes this time of year. (Plus it's on sale!) Pair with these slingbacks now and these glamorous suede heels later!
• My madras dress above is almost sold out, but a steal if they still have your size.
• I bought my first Hill House dress!
• This cream plaid dress is stunning. Pack it for your late summer getaway.
• This top is perfect for this time of year. Pair with these jeans like I did here. Pair with a wicker bag if you're holding onto summer, or a rich suede bucket bag to nudge the look towards fall.
• I love this shade of red, not quite berry, and a little dusty. It looks fab with white shorts now, and camel hued tweeds later.
• I still love wearing white dresses this time of year, and make them seem more timely with an atumnal bag.
• This linen dress is gorgeous and the honey color pairs beautifully with olive accessories like this or this.
• A tweedy blazer, but make it linen. Just the thing for throwing over your shoulders with an all white look. Or, belt it as a top over this silk skirt.
• Brown botanical prints shine this time of year, and this dress is perfect for getting in the fall spirit even when it's 80 degrees. Love it with these sandals and both are on sale!
• An aran sweater for when it's not cold enough for aran sweaters. I love the button neckline and cotton knit. Would be so cute over a swimsuit now and with corduroy later.
• This olive shift dress is darling. It has a nice bit of structure and the seams make it feel special. It's on the short side (I'm 5'9") but I love it with leather flats. If you're petite it would be great for the office with a turtleneck underneath or a blazer over it.
• This lightweight barn jacket is a great statement piece and on major sale.
• I love the "lots of buttons" trend, especially on a yummy cashmere cardigan.
• This crochet polo (on sale) is gorgeous with this skirt. I'll be wearing the combo to a housewarming party this weekend!
