Summer to Fall Transition Tips

Tips for a Smooth Summer-to-Fall Transition

Fall brings cooler weather, football, and vibrant leaves, but the seasonal shift can clutter your closet and home. Here’s how to streamline the transition:

• 👗 Organize Your Closet: Push lightweight summer clothes (tanks, shorts) to the back and prioritize long sleeves and jeans. While days are still quite warm, now is the time to bring out darker, warmer colors and store the pastels.

• 🗑️ Declutter Summer Wear: Donate unworn summer clothes you won’t need next season.

• 👞 Switch Footwear: Store light-colored shoes and espadrilles; bring out booties and loafers. Check fall shoes for needed repairs.

• 🧣 Update Accessories: Trade straw hats and summer bags for scarves and wool hats to complete your fall look.

• 🧼 Clean Summer Gear: Wash beach towels, coverups, and swimsuits. Inspect suits for wear before storing.

• 🏖️ Clear Beach Bags: Empty pool/beach bags of sand, old sunscreen, and other summer items.

• 👜 Tidy Travel Bags: Clean out summer travel bags to avoid damage and recover forgotten items like books or lip gloss.

• 🚗 Refresh Your Car: Remove summer road trip items (towels, sunscreen, sports gear) and trash debris to make room for fall activities like tailgating and football games.

• 🧴 Check Sunscreen: Toss expired sunscreen to avoid ineffective protection.

• 🍂 Cozy Up Your Home: Swap summer linens for cozy fall blankets and warm-toned decor to match the season’s vibe.

• ❄️ Prepare for Fall Weather: Inspect umbrellas and light jackets to stay ready for fall’s unpredictable weather.

• 📅 Plan Fall Activities: Check your calendar for fall events like games, Halloween, or Thanksgiving to plan travel and activities.

These steps help you embrace fall while keeping your wardrobe, home, and schedule organized and ready.

Happy organizing!
