With the end of summer approaching, I’ve been doing my best to incorporate autumnal touches into my outfits while staying cool in the still-high temperatures. Some peep-toe style booties and a rich red bag help give this look an early-fall appeal while still dressing for summer.LOFT leopard print ankle pants, denim vest, black peep toe booties, leopard and denim with red handbag, fashion blogger RomeAs I get older, when shopping for new clothing and accessories, I try to steer clear of items that are sure to be outdated quickly, opting instead for pieces I know will get plenty of use for many years. These leopard pants have been a part of my wardrobe for almost four years now and still look modern thanks to the clean, ankle-length style–all it takes are different shoes and a new top or jacket to mix it up each time I wear them.J.

I was so bummed to notice one of the heels on these booties was dented by a cobblestone the last time I wore them. Thank goodness they are black so I was able to use a Sharpie pen for a quick fill-in (not the first time I’ve done this for black shoes!)oxblood St. Laurent 'High School' satchel, leopard print with red outfit, denim vest with leopard pantsoxblood red Saint Laurent 'High School' satchel, J.
