Today is a big day on the blog! I'm starting a new series with my sister, Chelsea at Whatcha Makin' Now, and I'm starting a new mini-series this week to help you all transition your clothes from Summer to Fall.
Chelsea and I have so much fun blogging and wanted to come up with a weekly way to collaborate. We came up with this "Take On" series. Each week we will take on a topic, adventure, or holiday that you'll need to dress and prepare food for. This week we're taking on Labor Day. I call this the unofficial end of summer. Whomp, whomp. It's a great opportunity to get together with friends and grill, for sure. The weather starts to change some too, so today I'm showing you how to make shorts last a little while longer, and dress comfortably and stylishly for your Labor Day celebrations.
I think the jean jacket is the perfect addition to many outfits, including this one. This summer I wore these shorts a ton with a simple chambray or tank top; that won't cut it as it begins to cool down. Adding a jean jacket keeps this outfit casual, but will make sure you don't get too cool grilling with friends and family.
Comeback Wednesday for my second tip to making the "Season Switch" with your wardrobe. And make sure to check out my sisters link below for a fabulous Labor Day drink!

Now to my fabulous sister Chelsea. This week she is sharing the recipe for a delicious drink called "Strawberry Lemonade Beer." She's also come up with a non-alcoholic version too, sweet! Make sure to stop by Whatcha Makin' Now for the details on how to make this delicious drink, perfect for your Labor Day Celebrations!
What a fun collaboration! The Strawberry Lemonade Beer looks delicious. It would be a nice switch from my Lime-A-Ritas :)
ReplyDeleteI agree about the denim jacket. It is so versatile and perfect for transitioning into fall.
The denim jacket looks so cute with your floral shorts! I'll also be wearing my denim jacket a lot this fall. :)
