The chilly weather has arrived in my part of the world and the nights are just going to get colder for the next half of the year or so. As a result, we’re going to want to feel cozy when we go out in the fall & winter evenings. Since sweaters make us comfortably warm, they’re the first thing to reach for.

With over 35 outfit ideas for various kinds of sweaters, age doesn’t matter.
This is the second installment in my Fall & Winter Evening Series. The first post gave my list of 30 items that are the building blocks of cold-weather evening looks. You can find that post HERE.

Welcome to my brainstorming session on how to wear peasant tops, beautifully and in different ways! I came up with almost 30 outfit ideas here for spring, summer and the transition to fall. If you know of ways to wear them in winter, I’d love to know. You can leave a reply below this post to share your inspirations with us — the more creative the better. Age doesn’t matter.
Peasant tops are easy to wear through three seasons because they come in so many colors, materials, prints and patterns. You’ll find them in sheer, silk, lace, eyelet, gauze, and durable cotton materials. They come in black, white, solid colors, chambray, stripes, tropical motifs, autumn leaf prints and more.
Embroidery is a common feature, giving these tops exotic interest.
The more feminine designs with details such as chiffon, ruffles and lace go easily from day to night.
There are many ways to wear peasant tops in spring and summer, so I started with that. Then I followed up with how to wear them for fall transitional weather, which I will definitely want to try this autumn. I hope the ideas below will help you to come up with new outfits that make your true self shine!

Ballet flats are a classic that is trending as a summer alternative to sandals. And then they can be worn into fall, until the snow starts. Pair the comfort of these flats with equally comfortable oversized sweaters, jeans, wide-leg trousers, joggers and knit sets. These are the perfect shoes for air travel, as they can be slipped off and back on easily. Since they don’t have a heel, age doesn’t matter.
This post begins with the clothes that go best with ballet flats, other than the tulle skirts and leg warmers traditionally worn by ballet dancers! You can style these things together, but contrast them with modern everyday basics. There’s also a style tip below, followed by outfit ideas. I hope you’ll take a look at the best ways to enjoy this easy shoe style from day to day and season to season.
