No, we are are not talking about salad dressing - this is all about French Dressing Jeans, also known as FDJ.
 
Fall is a little bit of a taboo word here in Florida. First off, it primarily signifies Hurricane season more than any sort of temperature change. September and October in Florida mean you are ready for whatever Mother Nature sends your way. In preparation, you bookmark the National Hurricane Center's website, keep tabs on Jim Cantore's whereabouts, and tune into the Weather Channel.  
 
It can also be challenging to get into the spirit of Fall when the temps usually continue to hover around the high 80s and low 90s. We can only consider it a real "fall day" if the humidity dissipates just a little. The leaves don't change colors here, and you won't even be considering a jacket until at least the Holidays approach.
 
Despite the challenges of Fall in Florida, we still appreciate the season. Since we don't naturally get to experience the wonders of Fall, we have to get a little creative. To do this, we might book a weekend in the mountains to see the leaves change. We might just enjoy a Pumpkin Spice latte at Starbucks, while others bake some pumpkin muffins with their grandchildren.
 
As far as fashion goes, while we won't be layering up in style, we still like to switch up our wardrobe a little. Don't worry, we aren't going to recommend you wear your sandals with wool pants and cashmere sweaters - that's winter in Florida.
 
This year we are looking to FDJ to lead the way. They have released a Fall collection that embraces the season in a way that even us Floridians can participate in. From breezy blouses featuring fall-inspired prints to striped tees in the fall hues of the year. Even without those idyllic fall days, you can still elevate your fall fashion wardrobe with some of our favorites from French Dressing Jeans.

While you probably won't be pulling out the boots, denim is definitely a fall staple we can get behind even here in Florida. These painted and embroidery denim ankle pants from French Dressing feature a frayed hemline, perfect to wear with your sandals or flats for the Fall. We paired them with the lightweight burnout knit top in a funky wavy stripe. It brings in a touch of Fall through the color work from burgundy to teal and navy. All in all, this is a chic, yet comfortable way to step into Fall.

We realize that for some denim is just not your style. If you prefer the classic Coconut Row ankle pants, bermuda shorts, or capri pants, we have found the perfect top for you. This French Dressing stripe top features the perfect color palette to prepare your wardrobe for the changing seasons. It might even make you forget for a moment that it is still Hurricane season. Pair this casual top with fun red or teal accessories for a complete Florida fall look.

We are so excited about this silky printed button-front blouse from the Fall FDJ collection. It is just the style and weight that is perfect for Florida's still summer temperatures. It kicks us into the Fall spirit with the inspired print and this beautiful ruched sleeve. Here we paired it with the NYDJ Alina Ankle Pant, but you can easily match it back to any of your favorite bottoms for this season.

So go on and embrace a little Fall even in Florida. We are sure that in the FDJ styles you will look chic and comfortable while enjoying that pumpkin loaf and coffee with your friends.
