Fall Transition + LINK UP

Happy Monday, pretties!!! As usual, Carrie, Whitney and I are hosting A Lovely Little à La Mode Link Up today, so if you're a blogger, please join us! The girls and I have been hosting a little mini series this month and this is the last installment! Thursday we will be starting Create28 Fall Looks so you'll have fall outfit inspiration every day in October!

Monday 9/7 ~ Summer Dresses (see post HERE)
Monday 9/14 ~ A Classic Piece (HERE)
Monday 9/21 ~ An Essential Bag (HERE)
Monday 9/29 ~ Fall Transition (TODAY!)

Fall is around the corner, Pumpkin Spice is in the air and I may or may not have busted out my boots in 68 degree weather the other day! I know here in Northern California we'll get more days of shorts and tanks, but fall will definitely be upon us before we know it!

Today I have two simple "Fall Transition" outfits for you. In true "Casey" style, they are super casual and easy to wear!

1.  Shorts + Plaid ~ If you know me, you KNOW I love me some denim shorts!!! You also know I love my Converse! So how do I make this "fallish??" ADD PLAID! Done! I love this plaid shirt not only because it's the perfect weight, but look at the sleeve cuffs...buffalo plaid!!! Sold!

Plaid Shirt: Target (exact, option)
Denim Shorts: J Crew Factory (exact)
White Tee: J Crew Factory (exact)
Converse: exact
Necklace: Stella and Dot (exact, in gold)

2. Jeans + Tank + Fall Scarf ~ Another transition fave of mine is a tank and scarf. You're looking at my new favorite jeans for fall that I showed you in my Express Model vs. Me post HERE! Sooo darn comfy, perfect stretch and I would say perfect for anyone who thinks "flares" are too much! These "Barely Boot" cuts give the same look, but without a lot of flare to deal with. Another great thing is that I can wear these babies with flats and not look 4 feet tall!!

Jeans: Express (exact)
Tank: Loft Outlet (similar, similar)
Scarf: Jane.com (option, option, option)

I have a very easy Fall Transition formula: Mix a summer/warm weather item with a fall/cool weather item. In Outfit 1, I mixed plaid (fall item) with shorts (summer item). In Outfit 2, I mixed a tank (summer item) with a scarf and jeans (fall items). Check out some of these other ways to mix and match ~

* Shorts + Sweater

* Summer Dress + Scarf

* Summer Dress + Cardigan

* Cropped Leggings + Jacket

* White Jeans + Sweater

 * Maxi Dress  + Sweater

I absolutely love all of these looks and will be copying them ALL until "real fall" hits Northern California come the end of October!!
