Transitional Style: Fall

{What I Wore: dress c/o Wallis // jacket, thrifted (love this one) // Lilac Bijoux necklace (similar) // Theit camera bag // Aldo booties } 

I have been having so much fun wearing this gorgeous polka dot dress from Wallis.

Last time I showed off this number, I dressed it up for a Summer night out - shown here.

This time I tried to throw all my favorite Fall trends at it to yet again remind you why classic pieces should be the foundation of your closet. 

Trends come & go, but this dress will continue to chameleon each & every year with you, because it is... say it with me now... a classic!

A moto jacket + statement necklace + casual ankle booties take this dress from dressy dinner plans to day-time chicness... if I do say so myself!

I think once the weather cools off, adding colored tights will be the perfect final layer... all my favorite Fall elements all in one place :)

So please share, how do you transition your Summer pieces for those falling temps that are right around the corner?

As a reminder, this transitional style campaign is also a fun little competition for us bloggers. 

Wallis is going to send 1 lucky blogger to New York Fashion Week & I would be thrilled to be the chosen one!

Transitional Style: Summer

It's that time of year again - Summer days are slipping through our fingers & Fall is right around the corner. While those pumpkin spice lattes are already on your mind, the Summer sales are still tempting you every time you open your email. 

The answer: transitional style. Scoop up some Summer dresses with plans of integrating them easily into your Fall wardrobe... smart shopping my friends!

With transitional style in mind, Wallis has teamed up with a group of bloggers to show off how their fabulous Summer frocks are also perfect for Fall...  ready for showing off skin now, & sliding easily under layers in the coming months. 

And please pinch me, because Wallis picked me to participate!

This polka dot number has the most flattering halter top & flippy skirt that is made for Summer nights out with the girls... you know the ones where you just want to throw your purses in a circle & dance!

But it has a secret Fall side too... so stayed tuned over the coming weeks to see it take a walk on the transitional side!

How do you transition your Summer pieces for those falling temps that are right around the corner?
