< now // In a little bit // later > |
Oh man, we are in that tricky time of year!
My mind is telling me that it should be Fall - back to school shopping, new notebooks, sharpened pencils, shorter days, pretty new clothes all hung up in the stores.
But the weather is telling me otherwise!
Not only is it still 90 degrees outside, but all the Summer clothes are on sale too (temptation is strong!)
So how do I fight the end of Summer funk & sale vortex?
By adding items to my wardrobe that can be worn now while Summer is still here & later when the leaves begin to fall & the temps start to dip.
Boutique Onze sent over this fun knit day dress & I couldn't help but throw it on for a comfy weekend look & dream up 2 ways I will be wearing it in a little bit & much later.
How I'm wearing it now:
{What I Wore: dress c/o Boutique Onze // vintage head scarf // necklace c/o Yuni Kelley // J.Crew belt & tote // Nine West wedges }
How I plan on wearing it in a few weeks:
{ What I Wore: dress c/o Boutique Onze // vintage Vera scarf // Rebecca Minkoff bag // Old Navy booties }
How I dream of wearing it next month:
{ What I Wore: dress c/o Boutique Onze // J.Crew button down (similar for less!) //Steve Madden boots (similar) }
What pieces in your wardrobe are doing overtime to keep the end of Summer funk away?
I am a big fan of transitional pieces and this dress is definitely perfect for the warm weather you're having and on to the cooler months!
ReplyDeleteLove this dress!! You showed great versatility with it. Such a great staple for a closet.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing–I'm really bad at transitioning pieces, so it was great to see this mixed up in so many different ways. I l-o-v-e the last look, and your hair in the first is super cute!
ReplyDeleteway cute! love the later fall look!
ReplyDeletekw, ladies in navy
This is such a perfect piece to carry you through the next couple months! I can't wait to start layering my dresses for cooler temps!
ReplyDeleteI love styling and re-styling a dress like this! Great options to make the dress go into Fall!

It really is a tricky part of the year. It's so muggy and hot in Louisville. Although I'm happy summer isn't over just yet, I'm kind of getting sick of the 90 degree weather. The way you styled the outfits are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

I love that you were able to style this dress for the tricky season we're in here in the South. I'm so excited for Fall but it's so hard to be festive in this sticky heat!

I love all three of these looks! What a great dress!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good idea! I wouldn't have thought of that. I have a dress kinda like that so this is great inspiration. You are so cute in all of these!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, all these looks are adorable! I can't even pick a favorite. Maybe the fall one since I love a good layered look. Makes outfits just that much more interesting. Love!

I have a gray knit dress like this with pockets that definitely does year-round duty. Most of my dresses will be coming with me as I can't bear to part with them for even a season! (Maxi skirts included!)

This dress is awesome! As we have 4 very distinct season here in Belgium, I love to find pieces like this dress that transition easily. I would need tights in winter though and a cardi in the fall! xo
ReplyDeleteThis is a great dress, and so versatile for the coming months!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks alot like Madewell's sweatshirt dress, which I own, and I'll definitely be filinng away these styling ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderfully versatile dress, and it looks fabulous on you Jessica! I love the outfit with the yellow scarf and ankle boots. =)

I love how you were able to transition all these pieces! I just couldn't fight the urge anymore and completed my spring/summer to fall/winter wardrobe closet transition today. The only problem? Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day of the year here in Chicago. So that should be fun.

Great styling of this dress. I love clothing that can transition through the seasons. For me most clothes can be worn year round since I live in Southern CA :)

Agreed! July was so mild here that I got spoiled, & then WHAM August came it was all horribly humid Summer! I'm taking up wearing my Fall clothes around the house just to appease my itch!

Yay! A layering convert??
ReplyDeletexx
Thank you lady! I hope you come back to Nashville real soon so we can hang out!
ReplyDeletexx
SO sticky is right! I had fun playing Fall dress up, but I definitely paid some sweat for it ;) (TMI??)
ReplyDeletexx
You and me both girlie! It was 90 ˚F when I took these photos, so this was the only layering I could muster, but in a month or two I am definitely adding some tights and cardigans!
ReplyDeletexx
Ooh I like that - the look for less! Happy to send along some new styling ideas :)
ReplyDeletexx
Ugh, I know! I am trying to hold off on the full switch, but I can't help but wear my shorter booties already! Sorry, I'm not sorry!
ReplyDeletexx
great versatile dress and lovely outfits!
