The skirt, leaving enough room and fringed on a side seam, recalls a raw, carefree, outdoorsy feeling, much in the freewheeling spirit of summer, to which the cross-body bag plays the perfect companion. The knitted sweater, finished off with the shirt collar, brings in a preppy air (the desert boots subscribe to it, too) that’s unmistakably autumnal, a subtle transition to the sharper elegance of the season that’s just around the corner (how is that possible?). A look that’s like a bridge between summer and fall.
