Dressed for the In-Between: An Early Autumn Story

Isn’t there a particular kind of magic to these late September days? There’s a crispness in the morning air that has you reaching for a favorite sweater, but by afternoon, the sun feels as warm and golden as it did in July. It’s a beautiful, confusing time of year that can make getting dressed feel like a puzzle. Summer brights feel a little too loud, but it’s not quite time for the deep, moody tones of winter. You’re dressing for the in-between.

This is my favorite style challenge: finding those perfect, grounding pieces that can bridge the gap between seasons. You need something that feels as right with a simple t-shirt on a warm afternoon as it does with a cashmere knit on the first truly cold morning. It’s not about a total wardrobe overhaul, but about finding the small, thoughtful details that make the transition feel seamless and intentional.

Lately, the piece that has solved this puzzle for us is our Sage Green Dot Studs. For years, this has been a beloved, earthy color in our studio, but it was always part of a trio. This season, we decided it was time for this perfect shade to finally stand on its own, framed in our classic, warm 18k gold-plated setting.

The result is what we believe to be the ultimate transitional earring. The soft, natural sage green nods to the fading days of summer, while the sunlit warmth of the gold bezel perfectly welcomes the rich, earthy palette of autumn. They are wonderfully simple and lightweight—set with hypoallergenic posts for easy, all-day wear—making them the effortless final touch your wardrobe needs right now. It’s the one constant you can rely on while the weather makes up its mind.

For the Curator of Curiosities, building a collection is all about finding these versatile, story-rich pieces. This one has been waiting for its moment, and we’re so happy to finally give it the spotlight.

What’s the one piece in your collection that you rely on during this in-between time? We’d love to hear.
