33 Versatile Summer-To-Fall Fashion Pieces
A casual vest top that a reviewer nicknamed their "Business Barbie" fit, and they sure are right! (Especially if Barbie is working out of Malibu and needs something that's profesh and not too heavy to transition from summer to fall.)
Promising review: "Business Barbie. Super great top for work! I've worn it multiple times, and it is perfect to pair with jeans for a business casual vibe. I live in Central Florida and wanted something professional-looking but breathable, so it's perfect since it's sleeveless. I have trouble with blazer styles because I have a big bust, but I don't have any issues buttoning with this. It is low cut so if you're going more conservative you'll need a tank top underneath but if you're going for a sexier look you'll want no bra or boob tape. Also, love the color pink!" —Kirby RobertsGet it from Amazon for $42.66+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 16 colors).
A Henley tanktop you'll want now *and* when your forgetful self is easily startled when the weather starts to cool off again, because this will be the perfect layer-it-under-a-shacket piece come autumn!

Promising review: "I purchased the shirt in black first and was immediately obsessed — I had to get it in another color ASAP! The material is butter soft (think like Lulu leggings) and thick. It's double-layered, so it's not see-through at all. I could literally live in it. The sleeves/cut make it look a bit more dressed up while still being casual." —CourtneeGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 19 colors).

I had *heard* good things, but now I am HOOKED on the quality and the classic styles that don't feel like "fast-fashion" trends that are going to go out of style the minute the wind review: "A classic shirt.

Keep adding colors and I'll keep adding to my collection." —Marianne E. "This cashmere top is light and perfect for a night out. It runs a tad big/wide so size down if you want it more fitted. Have received many compliments. Love the ivory!" —NancyGet it from Quince for $44.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL, 1X–3X, and five colors).

A pair of cute utility overalls to make sure you have a new, COMFY staple that will take you all the way from July to November. A fit that can do summer hangouts and double as a Thanksgiving OOTD really does deserve a round of applause. 👏🏻
Promising review: I purchased these overalls from the store. I honestly don't think I would have picked them out online because it doesn't truly show the color. It's not much different, but the edges of the material a slightly faded, which gives it a warmer feel. I love the color. The legs are barrel jean style and run a little short. They run true to size." —Amyc44Get it from Free People for $148 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors).

A soft, stretchy longline sports bra to give your wardrobe the perfect layering piece or to wear all on its own. It's padded and offers medium support, so it'll be a great fit for low-impact exercise outings (hell-o walks in the parks with friends!) or for general everyday wear.
