I'm relishing this slow transition between seasons, and if you're like me and looking to add a fashion-forward touch to your outfits but don't want to splurge on a whole new wardrobe, I recommend adding some specific styles to your looks that feel very of the moment. Since it's part of my job to keep on the pulse with all the coolest fashion people, the current trends, and must-have pieces at all our favorite brands and retailers, there are certain items I've been spotting on repeat that, simply put, scream "I'm an in-the-know fashion person."
From trending leopard print to boho dresses and elegant full skirts, I've assembled a cheat sheet below of the items that will have you looking altogether on-trend through the end of summer and into fall. Whether you go for an easy accessory or a statement silhouette, there's something for every taste and budget.
