Top: Joe Fresh. Dress (worn as skirt): Club Monaco (similar skirt here and dress here). Clutch: Balenciaga. Shoes: J.Crew. Necklace: Forever 21. Rings: H&M, BCBG. Sunglasses: Chanel.
Saying a sad good bye to:
1. Summer Whites: I’m a huge winter white fan, but I think this fabulous Club Monaco dress is just too light weight for colder months.
2. Sandals: With major temperature drops forecasted for this weekend in Toronto, this is probably the last time my tootsies will be free.
3. Sunlight: Daylight hours are getting shorter and shorter. I just made it home in time to snap these photos before the sun completely set. Not quite sure how I’m going to take photos during the winter darkness. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Ha ha ha, we always have something in common!
Thanks so much Sheree!
Summer is a welcome sight in Dallas… but… we tend to bid it a fond farewell come late September, early October around here, too.
Pretty dress.

Thanks very much Jordan!
Love this top! And those sandals are amazing. Move down south and you can wear sandals pretty much all year. (Okay, it might be a bit cold in January & Feb. but that is it.)

Ha ha, yes, I think I’m really supposed to be living in a warmer climate.
Thanks Amy!
Wearing my white jeans today and was just thinking it’s about time to put them away! Ahh, goodbye summer!
Love your classic black and white outfit!

Ha ha, I almost wore white capris the other day, and changed my mind for the same reason.
Thanks so much!
Awww…love your oxblood nails Jenny…hahah! What a perfect outfit to say goodbye to summer….btw I will also miss DST!

Thanks so much Rebecca! I’m loving red/burgundy nails right now!
Jenny, it’s always amazing how you change a dress into a wonderful skirt combined with elegant shirts or blouses. The necklace and the sequins add that glamorous touch to your outfit.
Holy Moly, when I just read the title I was a lil bit anxious what is awaiting us with a sad goodbye, glad its only the white dress and sandals hahahha. I know that you takes your outfit pics everyday after work, I usually got my pictures taken at the weekend (3 different outfits) as I don’t have time during the week. Maybe t hat will be a possiblity for you? Or your ask a coworker to take pics of your quickly in the lunch break
On another note: Jenny, as I am truly thankful for your lovely support, Iwould love to give your the Liebster Award. I don’t know, maybe you received it already, but you were the first person who came across my mind that I would like to give that recognition
You are such a lovely personal with a great sense of style so nobody deserves it more than you do

Ha ha ha, oh Ani, you are just the sweetest ever!!!
Thank you so much for your sweet compliments, and for the wonderful award. Actually, it is you who deserves it the most! 
I think that’s a good idea, I might have to take several photos on the weekend. The only downside is that I like to sometimes match my nail polish to my outfits. I guess I will be wearing more neutral nail polish during the winter. No one at work knows about the blog, and I don’t really want them to know yet. They are not interested in fashion blogs, and a few co-workers have already said they didn’t understand them and thought it was silly that people take pictures of what they are wearing and post them online. I just figure it’s just better that no one knows.
I love this black and white combo. The skirt has just the perfect amount of volume, too!

Aww, thank you so much for your sweet comments, Alissa!
I feel the same way! I put on a pair of wedges yesterday and wondered if it would be the last time my toes would see the light of day for another 6-7 months. I’m also a little concerned on how I wil get any outfit photos? My hubby who takes my pictures isn’t home until about 6pm…we are cutting it close as it.
You look fantastic and I LOVE that sequined top, so pretty!
LindsayJEveryday.blogspot.com
Thank you so very much Lindsay!! I agree, I’m concerned about the same things! I’m lucky that my Man is working from home right now, so at least he’s there when I get home at night.
It’s a sad day when you have to say goodbye to summer things like this
. You look lovely doing it though! I love the sparkle.

You look gorgeous, Love that shirt!! I am sad to say goodbye to all things summer as well…
creamyclothes.blogspot.com
Thank you so so much Emily!
Don’t be sad Jenny!! In a few months summer will be here again. Time flies!!
Concerning the pictures a good option could be doing them early in the morning before leaving for work. Or during lunch break (whe I ussually take mine). Or during the weekend, you can shoot all the outfits and publish them during the week…
Love your t-shirt!! Damm it is not availlable on line!!

http://misstoptenimage.blogspot.com
Thank you so much Patricia!! Unfortunately, it’s already dark when I leave for work. It’s quite sad actually, in the winter, I leave for work and get home when it’s dark. I barely see sunlight in the winter. Taking a whole bunch of photos on the weekend it a good idea. I think I’ll have to start doing that. The only downside is that I like to change my nail polish to match my outfits, so I guess I won’t be doing that as much in the winter.
Love this outfit! Especially the sequinned sleeves, and the black & white!
Thank you very much Jess!
I did see, on the news this morning, that your temperatures will be dropping significantly. Ouch. I guess we’ll be seeing some coats on you!
I love your shoes…so pretty.
Cheers,

Ha ha ha, I think I will be pulling out my winter coat this weekend! Booooo….
Thanks so much Tammy!
Say it isn’t so! I refuse to let summer go! But this outfit is adorable, I wish you could wear it all the time!

This is such a classic outfit. You look gorgeous! I’m really sad about less sunlight hours too, it’s one of the main reasons I dislike winter.

I completely agree! It’s so sad in the Winter that it’s dark when I leave for work, and already dark when I get home. Some days I don’t even get to see sunlight! Thanks so much Yi-chia!
We can still wear are sandals here…it’s hot! Love this sequin sweater!
Thanks for rubbing it in…ha ha ha!
Thanks so much Kristen!
Those sandals are stunning, Jenny, and this black and white ensemble is super chic! It indeed is the time to bid a sad goodbye to summer!
Love

Aww, thank you so much Juneli!
I love how you used the dress as a skirt! Beautiful shoes!

I love this “Farewell to summer” outfit. Those shoes are gorgeous… such a shame you won’t be able to wear them for a couple months.

I know…such a shame. It will definitely be more than a few months before I wear them again. We usually don’t have sandal weather here until late April or May! Thanks so much Brenna!
LOVE LOVE!!! The clutch is amazing

Aww, thank you so very much Alison!
It is a sad goodbye! But at least we have cute boots, scarves and coats to look forward to
I love your nail polish in these pics! x
http://www.glittersgold.com
So true, I’m actually really looking forward to wearing some of my coats! Thanks Emily!
Ok, I’m definitely going to be reading through to see about these tips for shooting in the winter! I’ve noticed that lately too that I am just making it home in time from work to take pictures. I try my best to do the bulk of my shoots on the weekend for that reason.
Anyway, you look gorgeous of course! I absolutely love the sequins and those shoes are simply stunning. I’m also amazed at how you and other bloggers I’ve seen find such pretty jewelry pieces at F21, I never seem to have much luck. Maybe I should give them another try.
Aww, thanks so much Miranda! I think I’ll try to start taking photos on the weekends too, but I’m out of town a lot on weekends, so we’ll see how that goes. Forever 21 is definitely hit or miss with jewellery for me. I can go months without finding anything there, then in one trip I’ll find like 5 things I want!
There is a lot to say farewell to when the weather starts to get colder. But think of all the wonderful things that await: tights, sweaters, scarves, boots, and rain showers. I personally cannot wait! But I love your sweet white skirt. The black edgy top is a great contrast, too!

So true…so true. I am really looking forward to scarves, boots and sweaters! Thank you so very much Callie!
Oh, POUT! You are right… this does feel a little like goodbye. You’ve parted ways with summer in the most stylish way!

Aww, your comment made me smile.
Thank you so much Emily.
Omg when I saw the title I thought you were quitting the blogging “business” almost gave me a heart attack!! lol
I am sad to see less and less light too but I kinda miss wearing boots! I think you should try taking photos indoor but again lighting can pose challenges! Try things out and be creative
Ha ha ha, thanks so much! I didn’t even think of that about the title!
That’s a good idea…I might try a few indoor shots, especially when the weather gets really cold!
so love those sandals!?…you always look fab,jenny?….sad goodbye indeed:(
Thank you so very much Pinky!
If you are worried about taking photos during the winter months you will just have to pop out at lunch hour or around 3 pm for a “break”
Ha ha ha, I totally should!
The only bad part is I don’t have anyone to take photos at work for me. 
I’m not ready for my co-workers to know about the blog. Ha ha, maybe I can ask passers by on the street. Maybe I can pretend to be a tourist. 
Just kidding.
Love it! Joe has great sequin tops (I purchased 2, tank and shirt).
I know! And for so cheap too! Thanks Iva!
I’ve been thinking the same thing – especially regarding the shrinking daylight hours and photo opportunities! Let me know how you cope!
Love the last ode to summer white and sandals BTW! Beautiful outfit!

Thank you ever so much Ines!
I totally recognized that shirt! I saw it in the store just yesterday! I totally love it! Looks gorgeous on you!! I know it is hard to take pictures in the winter as it dark by the time you get home from work. My suggestion is if you have a blog everyday is to take more than one outfit pic on the weekend. A few on each weekend day so you can have sunlight. Hard I know but it may work if you want natural light.
Rebecca
http://www.winnipegstyle.ca
Thank you so very much Rebecca! Such a great idea…I’ll have to start taking multiple photos on the weekends. I don’t think my Man is going to like that much, but too bad for him.
Beautiful outfit
Thanks so much Ania!
Gorgeous top! I was just thinking the same thing about taking pictures in winter.

Thanks so much Rachel!
AW…while we haven’t had summer like weather in SF (October is our summer weather…or should I say…the one week we get high temps) but I will miss the ease of summer-like routines and sunshine. I do love fall though…the holidays, the layering, the food….it all makes me smile. =D
xo,
nancy
I didn’t realize you don’t really have summer weather in SF! So strange. I’ve been to Vancouver in the summer and the weather was gorgeous. Since SF is south of Vancouver, I would have just assumed you would have nicer weather. I agree, I do love Fall, but I HATE Toronto winters!
I’m so sad to see sandals go, too. I think this may be my last week/weekend of wearing them!
Life Unsweetened
I know…it’s just so sad. Ha ha, thanks for visiting, Rachel!
aw you are so right, it really is time to say goodbye .. sob.
love those sandals.

Aww, thank you so very much Sooae!
I need to pick up that Joe Fresh top…I think it would be great for the holidays!! I’m also so sad to be saying goodbye to so many great summer things
xo
http://www.piesandpearls.com
Yes, you are so right…this top will be great for the holidays. My boss actually bought the navy version after seeing mine.
I wish so badly for colder weather!! The way I do it , is to do one photo shoot all in one day for the entire week you plan to blog. That makes my life so much easier because I have a full week of outfits planned in real life for work or whatever I have going on. Then you simply save and upload daily. Works for me and I am loving this out . Wow !
Oliviamoone.blogspot.com
Such a good idea. My Man likes to call is “Fashion Show”, but I’ll often spend an hour or two playing in my closet putting together outfits for the week anyways. I’ve done this for years (way before I started blogging). What I really should do is create an outfit, then go out and photograph it, then just wear it that week! I’ll definitely try this.
Amazing shoes!

Thank you so much Sofia!
I must admit that it’s sad to let summer go, but now I’m too excited about fall things to appropriately mourn the passing of summer. Give me about 2 months and I’ll be begging for my sandals and short skirts! Gorgeous look and a sad goodbye to that beautiful dress for a few months!
-XOXO-

Ha ha ha, I agree. I do love Fall, so I’m okay with it for now, but once Winter hits, I’ll be whining for summer to come back! Thanks Libby!
