While we have all spent the past few weeks rejoicing over all the summer sales, it's easy to forget why stores are getting rid of their warm-weather merchandise -- to make way for fall fashion.
Yes, turtleneck season is coming and many stores have already started putting out their fall wares. Instead of waiting until September to start your shopping (when they will probably be sold out of your size), why not get a head start now? There are tons of items on the market that you can buy now, wear for the rest of the summer and well into the cooler temps. Behold, the fall items we're most coveting and how to make them work in the August heat.
The item: Flared trousers
The item: A necktie blouse
The item: Black slip dress
The item: A car wash skirt
The item: Lace-up flats
