Last year I rocked these vintage pinafores for pre-Fall and it has been one of my very favorite looks so far. I wanted to re-create a summer version to that look so when I came across this beautiful ruffled pinafore in a fruit and floral print, I just had to have it!

Prior to spotting these pinafores in store, I came across this off the shoulder top and tiered ruffled dress in the same print that mixes lilies, bananas, leaves and lemons but wasn't compelled to purchase even though I adore anything with lemons (see here & here). I figured I had similar styles hanging out in my closet so there was no need to get another piece.

My position quickly changed once I locked eyes with this beauty and the rest is history. Well the rest is here on the blog :)

Oh how I love the Summer! I never want to say goodbye to warm temperatures, tropical prints and frozen drinks but even when I cry into my cocktail glass, the seasons never listen to me!

We're now a month away from Fall and I'm trying to make peace (kinda, sorta) and simply embrace the transition because I really don't have many quarrels with Fall except it indicates #WinterIsComing and that's when my tantrums are amplified. 

During the early days of Fall, I enjoy that you can get away with wearing some of your Summer pieces, especially  pants and maxi dresses. Today I'm sharing a transitional look that can be worn on a cool Summer evening or early Fall day.
