Fall likes to ease in to Raleigh by about mid/late October, but that doesn’t stop me from transitioning my outfits from shorts and tanks to layers and booties.
The big difference we do experience around this time of year is the lower humidity level. And after dealing with 100% humidity all summer, you kind of feel like you can wear anything as long as you don’t see the thick air outside while wearing it.
My go-to in this season is dresses with ankle boots. It’s the perfect outfit for warm and sunny fall days that makes me feel like I’ve dressed appropriately but I’m not dying of heat. I like a little heel on my booties but nothing too high that keeps them from making sense to wear with my kids too. I really try not to buy clothes that I can only wear in certain circumstances, and these booties were the perfect style and height for me.
I’m pretty loyal to my ankle boots throughout fall and winter, but I couldn’t pass up on these beautiful over the knee boots from Sole Society. I love the lower heel and the details of the buttons in the back! I pictured wearing them with dresses, black leggings and a long grey sweater, or even dressing up a simple jeans + tee outfit too! They are pretty much as opposite as you can get from ankle booties, but they essentially go with the same kind of outfits!

 

These worked with jeans but I also plan on wearing them with a few of my shorter dresses this fall. The color is the perfect taupe...
