Summer dresses can be worn with leggings, thick tights, or with boots for a great fall fashion trend that will keep your girl warm. Leggings can be very inexpensive and versatile. Target’s girls Xhilaration leggings are under $10 and come in so many different styles like shiny fake leather for the little rock star, or solid to go with that printed summer dress that’s too cute to put away until next year.
Their favorite summer t-shirts can be worn over long sleeved shirts or under a zip up hoodie. Walmart’s Faded Glory reversible hoodies can be a two for one with a solid side and a printed side to match any summer tee.
Long shorts like bermuda shorts and summer capris can be worn with wool tights, boots and a jacket for a cool weather sassy equestrian look. This is a great fall look that is expected to be big this coming fall and winter.
Some summer tank tops like the basic ribbed ones can be layered over long sleeved button up tops as a sweater vest for a preppy look. Other tank tops can be paired with a cardigan or jean jacket to bring them into fall.
Summer skirts even the shorter ones can be worn with a sweater or turtleneck and leggings
Accessories to pair with any of these looks
Scarves are the accessory for this fall and can be worn with almost anything for extra warmth or just a fun look. Just tie one around her neck or use it as a belt. Knee socks can be worn in place of tights and come in many cute patterns and colors. Boots transition any summer look into fall instantly and can be cute in ankle, mid calf and knee high. Hats whether they are the knitted stocking type or a newsboy cap will give any style a polished look.
Some summer items do need to be put away until next year. Trade those flip flops in for cute ballet flats. That bathing suit cover up may look like a cute hooded dress but won’t look quite right with this falls trends instead buy a belted coat in a classic color that can last a few years, you can switch out the belt to match what’s underneath. The short shorts also have to be stowed away even with tights these are not school appropriate. Save some money and get some of those cute summer clearance items and fashion them into back to school wear.
