In a blink of an eye, we’re approaching the end of summer, which means the sartorial challenge we are facing now is transition dressing. Today’s two outfits from style mavens showed us how to transform summer staples like shorts, clogs and bright accessories into fall with ease. Hint: show a touch of bare skin and stay within a rich, sophisticated palette, like the bordeaux, olive and mustard seen here.

In Chinese: 眨眼的功夫夏天都快要结束了，这也意味了我们在日常着装上面临的挑战要从对抗酷暑转为在夏末秋初的尴尬过渡季如何穿搭了。今天的这两个时尚偶像就示范了如何把夏天的单品，比如短裤、木底拖以及亮色的配饰等穿到秋天。小提示：降低露肤度并选择秋冬常见的优雅色系比如在上面的造型里看到的酒红、芥末黄和橄榄绿等在视觉上给人以温暖的颜色。

A sweet floral dress combined with tough ankle boots is my favorite summer night look! Classic yet modern, sweet and edgy. Since ankle boots can cut you off, making the legs look shorter, the length of the dress and some styling tricks are very important. Look at the style savvy above, it’s not by chance that they both chose dresses 3 inches above the knee. A coordinating belt or high waist design further elongates the legs. With a pair of cool shades and hands-free crossbody bag, think of nothing but enjoying your night!

In Chinese: 碎花洋装搭配上帅气的踝靴是我最喜欢的造型，可以从春天一直穿到早秋，参加夏日晚上的户外派对也最适合不过。这个搭配经典又有潮感，甜美又率性。但踝靴有个最大的问题就是会截断我们的小腿，所以选择合适的裙长再搭配一些造型技巧就非常重要，比如上面的这两个造型，她们都选了膝上约三公分的裙长，这个长度适合大多数身形。除了裙长外，高腰及收腰的剪裁也很重要，或搭配上一条彩色的细腰带，都可以在强调腰线的同时拉长腿型。配上酷酷的太阳镜和斜挎的小包，就能轻松享受夏日派对了。

statement shoes 2014; Emma Stone at Jimmy Kimmel Live, LA, April 3 2014: black collarless coat, grey dress, Christian Louboutin Viveka Snakeskin Sandals with asymmetrical straps. Photos: Emma Stone; Courtesy of fameflynet.biz.

Why I love the look: Once again, accessories make the outfit.

Shopping Tip: This season, look for pumps, sandals or flats with curved asymmetrical straps like the enviable pair seen on Emma Stone. The strap elegantly swoops across her foot, the floating effect is flattering and oh-so-sexy.

In Chinese：艾玛·斯通 (Emma Stone)的这个舒适又抢眼的造型再次证明了配件提升整体造型的强大魅力。这一季，鞋子有个小小的流行趋势：无论是包鞋还是凉鞋、平底鞋，都有一条从内侧向外延伸的弧形绑带，像艾玛·斯通 (Emma Stone)脚上的这双红底鞋一样，有建筑般的美感，很修饰脚型，又很性感。

How to recreate the look:
