As the summer months come to a close, I’m starting to make room in my wardrobe for some new pieces for fall. (I deserve it!) However, the weather isn’t at the chilly temperature that warrants head-to-toe coverage. So I’m searching for those items that will easily transition some of my warmer-weather looks into ones that are still on-trend for the upcoming season.
Because I'm doing my very best to not spend too much money updating my closet, I'm turning to H&M for options that are just as chic as they are affordable. And, as always, the retailer did not disappoint. Its new Blooming in Autumn collection has so many cute options for layering (or wearing alone), and the best part is that nothing is over $60. Keep scrolling for 15 of my favorite items that I guarantee will help make the transition from summer to fall a breeze.
This pretty floral pattern reminds me of a top I wore on my first day of school back in elementary school, so obviously I need it. (Plus, it has a smocked bodice that I'm absolutely in love with.)
And it comes in dress form? It's a done deal.
The Peter Pan–collar trend is not going anywhere, and this is an affordable way to get in on it.
A good pair of denim will always be a staple, no matter what. Pair 'em with boots if it's cold enough outside or throw on a tee and strappy sandals when it's a little warmer.
Ah, the denim jacket, a must for any transitional wardrobe. You can really do anything with it—layer it over a midi dress or pair it with some jeans for a Canadian-tuxedo look (which I adore).
Faux-leather dresses are my weakness, and this one is no exception.
Ugh, the puff sleeves on this are truly everything I need and more. It’s the perfect dress to wear with sandals or tights and boots.
I plan on wearing this for my next company-wide zoom meeting.
Another affordable statement-collar option.
I can't think of a top that wouldn't look good with a pair of black jeans.
Do I even need to explain why this is going in my cart? Just because summer is over, it doesn't mean you can stop me from wearing a bucket hat.
Anything with shoulder pads makes an outfit look 10 times more stylish.
I've been eyeing these babies for a while now.
And if you're looking for something to wear with those boots, might I suggest this faux-leather skirt?
This color is way too good.
