Happy first Friday of fall y’all! What better way to get into the new season spirit than with a transitional look using a summery chambray dress as the base and accessorizing with fall-like accessories, such as this duster cardigan.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, accessories can really help lean an outfit from one season to another. Take this houndstooth duster cardigan, paired with a fun color-blocked fedora and a pair of oxfords and you’ve got a fall-friendly outfit.

You might remember the first round of StyleWatch x Charming Charlie collection in which I posted about here. The second collection features some really awesome fall neutrals, including one of my favorites, olive.

I am loving this structured satchel that also doubles as a crossbody. Plus how fun is this fringe necklace and these classic earrings?

Toss on a colorblocked panama hat for the ultimate fall outfit. I love how a hat can really pull a look together. If you remember, last season I was a huge hat wearer – see here, here and here.

Have any fun plans for the weekend? Rick and I are heading to Waco tomorrow for the Baylor game. But it’s supposed to be pouring – womp, womp!
