Fall weather in Houston, Texas is typically warm. Honestly, the weather is always pretty unpredictable. This only really bothers me when it is time to transition from summer to fall. What usually happens is I leave for work with a long sleeve or light cardigan and by the time I return home its 95 degrees outside. Yes, the struggle is real!
Even though the weather is so unpredictable the fact is that it is officially Fall. I want to ensure that I look amazing and on-trend for the fall season even though its 95 degrees outside. Here in Houston, Fall still feels a bit like summer so here are 5 wardrobe essentials to help you put together something stylish, comfortable and cool (when the temperature increases mid-day)! Don’t forget to check your local thrift stores for these wardrobe essentials, Sis!
5 Wardrobe Essentials:
1.Button down blouse/top
Just so yall know, the “No white after Labor Day” rule is dead! White is a wardrobe basic that transitions so easily from summer to fall. Pair your white with fall colors (black, grey etc) and fabrics (leather, knit) to pull everything together nicely!
2. Shorts
I was one of those people who never understood why people wore shorts and long sleeve tops. Now, I am one of those people who wear this look often and it just WORKS!

3. Booties
Booties are perfect for “janky” Houston weather and perfect for the transition from summer to fall. What I love most about booties is that you can dress them up or down!

4. Crossbody leather bag
A leather crossbody bag anchors your outfit to bring together your transitional outfit perfectly. I recommend opting for a dark color like black or brown to add a fall vibe.
5. Sunnies
Did I mention fall in Houston looks like summer? You’ll need a dope pair of sunnies on deck at all times!

I love this!!!
Thank you Herline!
I love wearing white all year round as well. It’s so versatile. You can pair it with bright colors in the spring/summer, and warm colors in the fall/winter.
You’re absolutely right. One of the most versatile colors ever!
