Summer is (almost) over…
As far as I’m concerned, September marks the beginning of autumn. Sure, the weather might still be quite nice and summery, but it is certainly getting a bit more unpredictable. So, while it makes little sense to buy summer clothes this time of the year (unless you’re thinking about next summer already), it’s a bit too early for ‘transitional dressing’. After all, we should make the most of the last summer days, enjoying the warm weather while we can.
So, this is the time to bring out those summer favourites for one last outing before they’re packed away. I’m talking about the clothes that evoke long, lazy days and fun in the sun… The clothes that won’t be part of your autumn, or even ‘transitional’ wardrobe.
In that spirit, this is the last outing of the very practical linen shirt this year. Yep, you won’t be seeing it again, until next summer. Maybe. Who knows what I’ll feel like wearing in a year’s time?
I’m wearing:
linen shirt: Marks and Spencer / trousers: Marks and Spencer / shoes: Van Dal /
sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana / bag: Adolfo Dominguez / necklace: Hirst Antiques
When does autumn start in your opinion?

I love linen shirts, and this one looks great on you, Tiina. We have about two more months of hot weather ahead, so I am a little jealous of seeing the fall stuff come out. xox
Thanks, Patti. I love autumn, never been much of a summer (or winter) person.
I agree that September is the turning point, at least here in NY. The way you tie your shirt is cute.
Thanks. Maybe it's also how we perceive time: my year seems to start in autumn. Maybe it's the start of a school year…
I have the same thoughts – wear the linen shirts and summer dresses while it's still warm. Though it's windy and stormy here today. Beautiful shirt, Tiina!
Yes, it's a long time till next summer, and a very long winter ahead… No, actually I look forward to autumn, my favourite season.
I love linen but don't currently own a linen shirt. I am sure I would be wearing it now if I did. You look cool and chic in yours. As Nathalia says, the region we live in is experiencing some storms and the temps have dropped roughly ten degrees. I don't mind though and find that by this time I am already missing some of my cooler weather clothes. Spring and Autumn tend to be my favourite seasons as I like mild temps and at least two layers to my outfit. Hurray for cardigans and closed to shoes. xo
Oh, we expect the temperature to drop any minute… Autumn is just around the corner, and I love it! Autumn is my favourite season, I just wish it would last longer. I prefer the milder temperatures, too, and the darker evenings and autumn colours…
Great look! I totally agree.. I am rewearing all my favorite summer pieces this week!www.amemoryofus.com
Thanks! Yes, can't really put off wearing summer clothes, it might be too late next week…
Very wise wearing this great linen shirt while you still can, it is such a pretty colour. Enjoy your cooler Autumn . Today is the first day of Spring here , I'm looking forward to some more sunshine.
Thanks, Jill. I'm looking forward to autumn, just hope it will be sunny and not rainy…
I love how put together this look is, and those glasses are the cherry on the cake, very cute!Thank you for linking up to "Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me" link up. Rachel xoGaray Treasures
Thanks! The sunglasses were an impulse buy at the airport… And now my favourite pair of sunglasses!
