Memphis in September is still really hot, but who can resist the fall fashions in all the stores? Keep some of your favorite summer pieces in rotation and slowly transition them when the weather finally cools. Here we took two essential warm weather pieces — shorts and a sheath — that are also strong trends for fall and show you how to work them into your wardrobe when the weather is tricky. Don’t forget about your makeup and hair. Fall beauty trends show a dark and glossy lip color. And you can replace those hair feathers with streaks of bold hues. Celebrate the new season in style.
