Weekend Wardrobe: "Still Feels Like Summer" Fall Travel Wardrobe


Even though the calendar says that fall has arrived, our Georgia weather still feels like summer.  I am ready to don apparel in autumnal colors, but not in the heavier fabrics more suitable for cool temperatures.  It is so warm here that I am still wearing sleeveless tops!  Luckily, it is possible to find clothing in autumn hues that are appropriate for summer-like weather.  One of my favorite neutral colors, olive green, seems to be having a moment this fall, and apparel of all sorts in this color is very easily found.  I put together a collection of clothing from the Backcountry website that includes several pieces in shades of this muted green which would be ideal for a moderately active warm autumn weekend in the country:

Clockwise from top left: Brixton Tiller Hat in Moss; VonZipper Mayfield Sunglasses in Green Translucent/Bronze; Columbia Emanating Light Jacket in Black; United by Blue Hazel Crossbody Purse in Moss; Vasque Mantra 2.0 Hiking Shoe in Bungee Cord/Bright Chartreuse; Prana Sage Jogger Pants in Cargo Green; Kavu Ryka Tank Top in Cookies N Creme.

Clockwise from top left: Coldwater Creek Drifting Leaf Necklace in Silver; Burton Backhill 40L Duffel Bag in Forest Night Waxed Canvas; United by Blue Primrose Tank Top in Ivory; Prana Kara Skirt in Cargo Green; Carve Designs Haven Shirt in Light Grey Mist; Splendid Jazz Sandal in Moss; Sage Jogger Pants in Moonrock; United by Blue Avalon Tank Top in Rust; Center: Patagonia Off Country Cardigan in Industrial Green.

This would be a great wardrobe for a weekend trip to a lovely rural inn.  I envision lots of relaxation, some hiking, a little sightseeing in the nearest small town, and perhaps even some early autumn apple picking or a local winery tour.  After finally finishing my post-Irma property cleanup, I am ready for a fall getaway, even if our temperatures at the moment are not especially autumnal!
