Silk, Linen and Cotton Neutrals

Three Warm-Weather Outfits For Transitioning Into The Fall

It is late summer and the yellow school buses are once again stopping in front of our neighborhood every weekday morning and afternoon. We are still experiencing intense summer heat and high humidity, so the planting of cool-season annuals like pansies and snapdragons is a month or two away.

But I can sense the deep, instinctive pull of Autumn approaching. I notice the shortening days and the changing angle of shadows on the ground. I feel more internal, reflective, and a steady acceptance that a shift is coming. Here in Southwest Florida that shift is less noticeable than it is up north. It is still occurring, however.

And, I am always drawn to honor it–in both my outfits and home decor. I wear more muted, softer, and neutral colors, like flax, yellow, and camel. In this post and video, I show three outfits I wore recently that feature these soothing hues, along with three neutral handbags and shoes.

Custom-Creating Your Own Timeless Handbag

Also, in Outfit #2 I am carrying the bespoke Classic Mini Top-Handle Bag that I first introduced in this May 26, 2026 Blog Post.  It was made for me by Naomi Jones, who specializes in designing and creating custom handcrafted luxury leather handbags and accessories.  Her specialty is classic styles and silhouettes, but she will work with a client to create whatever is wanted.  Naomi also repairs and repurposes luxury handbags that cannot be repaired.

If you would like to learn more about Naomi, her website NaomiCrafted and her Instagram show videos and photographs of Naomi making bags and accessories.  Or, you might want to join her What’s App Group, which Naomi describes as a place “for those who love handmade bags and leather craftsmanship.”

Naomi is currently offering my audience 20% off.  Simply use my code: JANISLJOHNSON on her website NaomiCrafted.  Naomi specializes in repairing luxury handbags, repurposing handbags, and creating custom-designed handbags.

Scroll down the page to see my three outfits.  If you want to watch my YouTube video, simply navigate to the bottom of this post.

Sending all of you wishes for peace and healing on this 25th anniversary of 9-11.

All the best,

~ Janis

(ABOVE & BELOW) My 20cm Mini Top-Handle Bag in craie epsom leather was custom designed and made for me by Naomi Jones at  NaomiCrafted. Working with Naomi through emails, I was able to choose the style of handbag I wanted, as well as the size, leather type, leather color, hardware color, and whether I did or did not want my name or initials stamped on the inside or outside of the bag (I chose not to have any personalization). 

In addition to working with clients to create new handbags entirely from scratch, Naomi also can repurpose a bag that cannot be repaired. For example, if you have a coated-canvas 30cm Boston-style bag with a tear in the canvas–which cannot be repaired–Naomi will work with you to turn your handbag into possibly a 25cm or 20cm Boston bag with new leather trim or even an entirely different style and silhouette altogether.  Perhaps you have a Goyard GM Tote Bag with a tear in the canvas?  Naomi can repurpose your tote into a smaller tote with new leather trim or even a clutch with detachable shoulder/crossbody strap and card holder.

Naomi is currently offering my audience 20% off.  Simply use my code: JANISLJOHNSON on her website NaomiCrafted.  Naomi specializes in repairing luxury handbags, repurposing handbags, and creating custom-designed handbags
