Petite Fashion Challenge #10: Take traditionally summer pieces (like tank tops, shorts, mini skirts, sundresses etc.) and make them appropriate for fall.
For this month's petite fashion challenge, I took a summery striped long tank top from Forever 21 and made it fall appropriate by adding a silk cardigan and brown belt:
Tank Top: Forever 21, XS (similar here)
Cardigan: Banana Republic, Petite XS
Belt:....no idea!
Jeans: Forever 21, 25/29
Earrings: Vintage
The cardigan is extremely light-weight (a silk blend), which makes it ideal for early fall. Its length can be a challenge to style, but its a perfect match for this long top that peeks out the bottom. I kept a neutral color palette for a classy, put-together look, giving the summery stripes a subdued autumn-friendly feel.
Since this top is usually something I would wear in the summertime, I also created a summer-appropriate outfit with a white skirt, shown below:

In the upstate NY town that I live in, this outfit would only be appropriate for another week or so. White skirt season is ending, and boot & sweater season is just around the corner!
Thanks to Liza for hosting this month's PFC!

A silk cardigan sounds like the perfect layer for the end of summer/beginning of fall. What a luxe fabric!
