August is that funny little in-between month.

It’s still Summer. The sun is still doing its thing. We’re certainly not ready to pack away the warm-weather clothes. And yet… suddenly those rich rusts, warm browns, creamy neutrals and deep berry shades are looking awfully good.

Fall, is that you knocking?

This week at Meadow, we’re beginning that slow, lovely transition into the next season—and these new arrivals are exactly how we like to do it.

There are still plenty of pieces made for right now: a sweet floral blouse with puff sleeves, an easy polka-dot top that makes jeans instantly more interesting, and two wonderfully simple dresses that can take you from a late-summer dinner straight into September.

Then come the pieces giving us just a little taste of what’s ahead.

A gorgeous burgundy short-sleeve top. A creamy button-front sweater vest that looks fabulous with shorts now and jeans later. A relaxed brown knit that feels cozy without screaming October! And that warm rust sweater? Consider it a little preview of cooler days to come.

That’s the beauty of transitional dressing. You don’t need to wake up one morning and suddenly declare, “SUMMER IS OVER! BRING OUT THE SWEATERS!”

You just start sneaking Fall in.

A richer color here.
A lightweight knit there.
Maybe a pair of jeans instead of shorts.

And before you know it, you’ve crossed into a whole new season without even trying.

As always, Shelley is choosing pieces that are easy to wear, easy to mix with what you already own, and just a little different from what you’ll see everywhere else. And because Meadow buys in limited quantities, you know our rule by now:

If you love it, don’t wait too long.

August may still belong to Summer—but at Meadow, we’re definitely flirting with Fall.

And we have to admit…

We kind of like it. See you this weekend. xoxoxoxo
