Hypothesis: You’ve had a lot of success with a small “Whatever’s Clean” wardrobe, and you’d like to be able to make a seamless transition to cooler weather.

First off, shorts and sleeveless tops just feel wrong when school starts and the calendar rolls over to September. So these would be the first three items to phase out.

In October, it might be time to give up linen pants and your simple white tee shirt.

For November, these three are ready for a break:

But of course you don’t HAVE to put the nine replaced garments away – they’ll still work well for layering. Except the shorts – accept that most of us can only wear shorts in November in the comfort of our home. But these 22 garments give you a lot of options!

My perfect morning = a fresh cup of coffee, a chocolate muffin, and this blog. :)
Transitioning to fall has been on my mind lately. The point about not packing away the lighter shirts is useful. Here in New England, we can experience a 20 degree difference between midday and evening. Layering is key!
This is absolutely perfect and timely. As always.
Really helpful and practical and economical. I just substituted another color scheme and it works beautifully. thanks, Janice.
Great advice. As a Yankee transplanted to the South I've learned to "pretend" the season with appropriate color. As a woman who also creates her own summer I would keep the sleeveless tops but utilize darker colors with a cardigan to go with the top. Love your blog. Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you, thank you! This is perfect for my climate.
Very nice, but where are the accessories for this. I see you have been adding accessories for the other color combinations.
Patience is a virtue!
