Are you ready to transition your wardrobe to fall in the Northern Hemisphere? How many handmade pieces do you have that span multiple seasons?\u00a0Lyndsey<\/a> shares how she styles her Melville vest for an early fall look.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fall is my favorite season! I’m always chomping at the bit to drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes and start wearing my fall clothing. However, I know it will be warm in my area for several weeks. In this transition period, I look for new ways to combine my fall favorites with summer staples. Of course, it helps that I can wear many of my handmade pieces year-round.<\/p>\n

I made this cozy Melville Vest<\/a> with boiled wool, and it was a great layering piece through the fall and winter last year. The neural color choice means I can wear this vest with most of my wardrobe, and it dresses up and dresses down very easily. Also, since\u00a0I made this version of the Melville as a vest instead of a cardigan, I think it will be a great transition piece in these last warm weeks.<\/p>\n

I made the black Extra-sharp Pencil Skirt<\/a> with lightweight wool twill fabric. I thought the wool would be light enough for three seasons, but I was able to wear this skirt all summer, and it has become a go-to piece for me to wear on days when I have to go into the office.<\/p>\n

Right now, it is still warm enough to wear short sleeves, but as it gets cooler, I’ll switch out the T-shirt for a long sleeve T-shirt (like the Metro Tee<\/a>) and switch from sandals to booties. But for now, I like that I can start wearing some of my fall makes!<\/p>\n
