Sure it's 823 degrees out today, but summer will be drawing to a close before you know it, and soon enough every fashionista will be grappling with the same perennial end-of-summer dilemma: how to get more mileage out of all those lightweight summery dresses (http://blog.stylehive.com/index.php/weblog/entry/hot-in-the-hive-rainbow- brights) in our closets?

Fear not. Stylehive.com (http://stylehive.com/) is here to help you extend the life of your warm weather wardrobe -- and help you stay within your clothing budget for once! "It's all about layering," says Stylehive.com (http://stylehive.com/) editorial director Chris Kensler. "By pairing knit hats, light coats, and cool boots with your summer basics, you can get an extra month out of your favorite lightweight apparel. And if global warming keeps up, you may be able to get by with your cotton dresses into October!"

Stlyehive.com's (http://stylehive.com/) editors have scoured their social shopping website for their 5 favorite summer/fall accessories. Enjoy!

  #2 Rebecca Taylor Cocoon Sleeve Coat
     Resist the urge to pull out a heavy winter coat as soon as temperatures
     begin to drop.  Instead try a chunky knit sweater with a slightly open
     front like this one from Rebecca Taylor, ideal for layering on breezy
     autumn days.

  #4 Crochet Open Toe Tights
     The perfect pair of tights can take almost any summer garment into the
     cooler months of fall.  These crochet tights would look great with just
     about any solid color cami dress.  And don't retire your short shorts
     (http://www.stylehive.com/bookmark/200272) yet either -- just throw on
     a bright pair of opaque pantyhose
     (http://www.stylehive.com/bookmark/205939), and forget about the Nair!

  #5 Dior Slouchy Suede Boots
     Last but not least, it's time to change out your footwear!  When warm
     summer nights are nothing but a memory, put the gladiator sandals away
     and pull out the boots!  We love this flat pirate boot in basic black
     from Dior.  Take any one of your strappy summer dresses, add a
     cardigan, some tights, and these stylin' boots, and you've got yourself
     one fierce fall outfit.
