With summer’s end in sight, any opportunities to wear flowy dresses or mini skirts are precious. To dress for the chilly days while still looking cheerful and summery, choose printed long sleeve blouses or dresses in lightweight fabric or with eye-catching prints. The covered arms balance bare legs while still capturing a late summer breeze.

For accessories, closed toe shoes like ballet flats, suede loafers or the newly minted spectator shoes are chic yet functional options. Tote or satchel in grey, brown or burgundy is also a great way to add right amount of weight and coziness in late summer/early fall.

每到夏末,总想起谢雨欣的那句伤感的浅唱–“穿裙子的季节要过去,要被无奈的秋风吹进尘封的往事里”。其实,留心一些小细节,这个时候仍然可以穿着轻盈飘逸的短裙游走大街小巷。比如选择长袖的轻透材质的衬衫长袖的印花连身裙,可以抵御渐凉的气温又保有夏天的轻盈。

凉鞋可以收起来了,包头的芭蕾平底鞋,复古的丝绒包鞋或新近大热的双色拼接牛津鞋都是即舒适,时尚又保暖的选择。灰色、棕色酒红色的大包也能给轻盈的装扮引入些初秋的温暖气息。

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
