This week I cruised through Forever 21, where new fall arrivals like moody florals, richly hued accessories and feminine lace are making these last days of summer much easier to part with. Easy updates you can try for your wardrobe would include picking up a floral tunic or long sleeve blouse that you can wear now with white jeans and ankle boots and again with knee-high boots and chunky cardigans in the fall.

I bought two pairs of the Sunset Mid-Rise Skinny Jean (in black and white) and the fit was great for those us not in our twenties anymore. I had to go up 3 sizes but I have no problem doing that with juniors clothing - just go with what fits! These come in lots of cool colors for fall.

I also thought these mini crossbody bags look adorable especially for the price, as well as the faux leather bags in hunter green and burgundy. After the heat wave we've been experiencing, fall - and fall fashion - can't come soon enough!
