During the wacky-weather month of September, calculating a brilliant look can feel a lot like homework. Just when you thought you needed to add another layer, you suddenly find yourself subtracting, thanks to the rising temps. But, there's a solution to your wardrobe woes! It's called Perfect Outfit Building 101 — and the professors are none other than local blogger legends behind Stop It Right Now, Scene Of Changery, and M Loves M.
These SoCal style savants are straight-up geniuses (just ask any of their pupils for proof!), and they're here to drop some knowledge and teach you the best ways to beat the inevitable Indian Summer heat. Grab your No. 2 pencils, because your closet is about to get sartorially schooled!

What's great about Amber's fall-worthy ensemble is that she's taken the simplest of fashion equations (black + white) and brought it to a whole new level. Never one to pass up an over-the-top look, the Scene of Changery blogger paired a formal lace skirt with one of the most casual closet staples ever, a white button-down. But she didn't stop there — a cinched crop top and round frames finished off the attention-grabbing getup. Go on and stare!
