Happy first day of fall! I know, I know, there’s a great chance that today still feels like summer. But it’s fall. Underneath the heat there’s a layer of new, a fresh start, and cooler weather. I trust that it’s coming. I wanted to dress for it.
Beyond the trends, the textures, and the sweaters, my favorite thing about fall dressing is layering. And while we stand in the space where summer and fall collide, I couldn’t help but layer the two. Yes, I put a bikini over a turtle neck. And I liked it. Just the right amount of edge, a way to get another swimsuit in, and felt right for this moment. I got the idea from an Instagram ad, and when I saw the idea, I knew I had to try it. I love wearing swimsuits as street wear, and anything that has a hint of Juxatipositon. Bikini over a turtleneck? Checks all boxes.
This combo was more comfortable than I thought it would be, this turtleneck is tissue thin, and quite versitaile! After this shoot I changed into both a skirt, and later cut offs. Layered bikini worked with it all.
The leather leggings? They are a must for the coming seasons. Chic, able to go with anything. We might not be at the point where you can wear them all day (though, you could crank your AC!), but that time is coming. And I like to be prepared.
Perfect outfit for today. Perfect for what’s coming. Perfect layering for transitions.
How are you welcoming the new season today? What are you wearing? Would you dare to layer your bikini? I want to hear all about it. And I dare you to try this layering combo!
