Goodbye Summer...

...Hello Fall. Well, almost. You still have a few weeks of summer left, but the dog days are behind us. It is time to gear up that closet for your fall transition wear. Time to put away those gladiators and  jeweled sandals, and bring out the barely there's 2.0.


The 2.0 model is just a better, more seasonally-appropriate version of the barely there for the fall/winter months.


The barey there sandal ruled the summer. This shoe was everywhere and on everyone. Everyones favorite female celebrity has been seen this summer in a pair of these....and 9 times out of 10 it was nude.
They have been around for years, but for some reason in 2014, they decided to make their comeback....and thank goodness. There is nothing like a single-sole shoe....but I digress. This shoe will remain a staple in my fall closet, however, there are some things to look for when switching it up for the season.

1.Opt for a bold color. This summer, the nude barely there sandal ran the world. I went with everything, yet you barely noticed its sexiness. This fall, go for a bold color. I have picked one of Pantone's fall 2014 colors for mine; Royal Blue.

::See here for Panton's fall colors, it will make a lot more of what I'm going to be saying going forward:: http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr/?season=fall&year=2014&from=hpfeatures

2.Thicker straps. Think about it, it is the fall. The weather is cooler, cover that foot up. (just a tad)
The thicker strap is more fall appropriate to wear with your fall sweaters, your favorite flannel, or cardigans.

3.Texture. cooler weather equates to texture. Look for a suede, velvet, or leather look for your barely there.
