My Recent Target Fashion Finds

Fall Transitional Fashion Finds from Target

With August here, autumn collections are beginning to fill the store shelves. Fall is hands down my favourite season to shop for, and a recent Target trip turned up several cute transitional pieces I could not wait to share. I am already counting down to what September and October will bring.

Collared Sweater: Shorts and Sneakers

The collared sweater is one of my favourite autumn trends. Its light weight makes it an easy bridge from summer into fall. I paired this one with denim shorts and Converse for a laid-back, effortless look.

Collared Sweater: Jeans and Booties

This is the same lightweight collared sweater, this time styled with jeans. Adding booties to your go-to denim instantly makes the outfit feel more polished. If you are in the South, this sweater is perfect for pumpkin patch pictures.

Maroon Striped Cardigan: Shorts and Sandals

It is hard to walk past maroon when it shows up in stores for fall. The striped piping gives this cardigan a fun, one-of-a-kind feel. I love wearing a cardigan with shorts in early autumn to get a fall vibe while it is still too warm for jeans.

Maroon Striped Cardigan: Jeans and Sneakers

Here is that same maroon cardigan worn with jeans and a white tennis shoe. I layered it over a plain black tank, though a graphic tee would be just as cute. I am in a size large for an oversized fit.

Red Long Sleeve Bodysuit

The moment I saw this bright red long sleeve bodysuit, I knew it was coming home with me. Red is having a major moment right now and works beautifully for the holidays. I styled it with jean shorts and white New Balance tennis shoes for a casual, sporty outfit I would wear to a football game before the weather turns. Once Christmas arrives, this top would look lovely with corduroy pants or a holiday skirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fall transitional piece?
A fall transitional piece is light enough to wear while temperatures are still warm, yet styled in a way that leans into autumn. In this post, the collared polo pullover sweater and the maroon striped cardigan are both styled with shorts for early fall and with jeans once it cools down.
How do you style a collared sweater for fall?
Pair it with jean shorts and sneakers for a simple, laid-back look, or swap the shorts for your favourite jeans and add booties for a more dressed-up outfit. The light weight of the sweater is what makes it work for both versions.
How do you wear a cardigan when it is still too hot for jeans?
Style the cardigan with shorts and sandals to get a fall look without the heat. When the temperatures drop, wear the same cardigan over a simple tank or a graphic tee with jeans and white tennis shoes.
What colors are popular for fall fashion?
Maroon and bright red both show up in this post as fall-ready colors. The maroon cardigan works for everyday fall outfits, while the red long sleeve bodysuit can be styled for football games and carried into the holidays with corduroy pants or a holiday skirt.
Where can you shop for affordable fall finds?
All of the pieces featured here were found on a trip to Target, with several items from the Universal Thread and A New Day lines. The full list of links at the end of the post points to each item.
How do you take fall photos in the South when it is still warm?
A light weight sweater is an easy choice for pumpkin patch pictures in the South, since it gives you the fall look without overheating. Pair it with jeans and booties for photos, then switch back to shorts for the rest of the day.

Transitional dressing is all about getting more wear out of the pieces you already love. Each look here starts with one lightweight layer, then swaps shorts for jeans or sandals for booties as the season shifts. That way a single Target find can carry you from late summer afternoons right through to crisp fall days.
