MARY's Fall Tips for the Fashion Savvy

Fall is here! No really, it is. The nonsense weather we are forced to endure in Tuscaloosa may make you feel like we are in the dead of summer, but Fall is in full swing and those cardigans, boots, jeans, and long sleeve tees are calling your name!

Waking up to a cool crisp day makes you want to pull out those stylish scarves and cozy sweaters, but you know by noon you’ll be wishing you had chosen to wear that relaxed summer top instead. This weather dilemma makes shopping a nightmare. All you really want to do is hit up the sale rack for summer leftovers, but with Labor Day done and over, you know you’ll be making a major fashion faux pas! The trick to staying cool in the heat while still showing off those fall trends is transitional clothing!

Transitional clothing is not only perfect for Tuscaloosa weather, but it’s also a smart purchase. Wearable all year long, you’ll find that you're getting the most for your money by purchasing these items. MARY is ready to help you find these necessities while still staying in a reasonable budget.

Cardigans: Cardigans are at the top of MARY’s transitional clothing list. Throw one on in the morning while it’s still cool and as the weather warms up, while the day goes on, you can easily just toss it aside instead of sweating it out. Cardigans thrown over a basic tee can add instant style to any outfit.

The Not-So-Summery-Summer Dress: Those light-weight summer dresses you’ve been living in for the past few months are not ready to be put away with the rest of your summer wardrobe. A dress that is a basic black, brown, or grey; or even any those darker shade prints can easily still be worn into Fall even if it was your go to dress this past July. Just add a pair of leggings or even your favorite Frye boot to make it feel a little more in season.

The Faux Sweater: The sweater that won’t make you feel like you’re getting ready for another one of those Alabama ice storms is the sweater you want! The key is leight-weight, short sleeve and loose fitting.

This 525 America sweater even has a cowl-neck that says “I’m ready for Fall but I’m still checking the weather channel before I leave the house.”

The Skirt: Investing in the perfect skirt is a smart move for the savvy shopper. While it’s still warm out pair your skirt with a simple tank. When the weather gets crisp transition over easily by pairing it with a long-sleeve tee and bootie.

This Leona skirt is a perfect example of a skirt that is easily worn season after season.

Diana Warner, a New York jewelry designer, is one of MARY’s favorite new designers. Diana’s jewelry line began four years ago when her inspirations, gathered from a childhood of everything from sports and outdoors to dance and glamour, came together to create jewelry that is simply irresistible.

A year after creating her beautiful jewelry line, Diana was inspired by a third influence that changed not only her business but also changed the way she designed her jewelry. After six weeks of travelling through Africa and observing devastating poverty and illness, Diana decided that she was not going to see the land around her as a place of unpromising future but rather a place where people with gifts and talents were waiting for opportunity. Beginning with an inspiring South African mother who makes jewelry boxes out of recycled magazines, Diana began making a difference by opening job opportunities for those in need. Since then, Diana has created pieces whose proceeds go to providing for many people in Africa. With each purchase of select jewelry, Diana gives back to provide ten Africans with clean water for a year, money for an organization to help improve the quality of life for African orphans, and the funds to providing job opportunities for others.

Believing in a fight for a cause, beautiful jewelry and inspiring those around her, Diana Warner has created a line of jewelry for every woman. Through it’s simplicity and true uniqueness, Diana Warner jewelry seems to find a place in every jewelry box
