2013 is almost over and sad to say, we’re at the point in the year where the temperature is noticeably cooler and you really can’t “get away” with wearing your shorts or summer tank tops anymore. However, with the following tricks you won’t have to pack away all your warm weather clothes quite yet! Use the following tips to make your cute summer wardrobe chic for fall.
1) Pull a sweater over your dress
You don’t have to put away your favorite sun dress yet! Make the most out of your dresses by pulling a sweater over it. You can rock this by either using a pullover sweater, or you can slip on a cardigan. Either way is a simple and trendy way to transition your summer wardrobe into fall.

2) Wear tights under your shorts
As silly as it sounds, putting on tights underneath your favorite short-shorts not only provides warmth, but makes for an edgy fall outfit perfect for going out to a party on a crisp night, or even just walking around campus. For a preppier look, add colored leggings.
For an example, here’s Miley Cyrus using black tights with denim cut offs for an eclectic vibe:

Finally, the easiest way to extend your time with the bright colors and fun patterns of summer is to pair them with warmer clothing styles and fall colors. Wearing bright floral tank tops with fall colored jeans, boots, or sweaters is the simplest solution. Use this outfit for inspiration:
