5 ways to transition a summer dress into fall

Thursday, October 3, 2019 0 style Permalink 7

well, it happened. we got a little glimpse of fall last week. it actually rained a couple of mornings -not a lot, but enough to get the streets wet and conjure up that delicious smell that only rogue precipitation produces. it was kind of glorious, you guys. albeit brief, the fall-like conditions made me excited to actually put a few of the sample outfits i’ve created in a few of my latest style videos into practice. it also inspired me to take a gander at the rest of my closet and see how i could possibly transition a few more of my summer items into the cooler season.

the kind team at velvet heart recently sent over this chambray midi dress for me to style. i took it as the perfect opportunity to showcase how i like to transition some of my warm weather frocks into cooler seasons. in short, it’s all about LAYERING! if you’re looking for a little inspiration on how to get extra wear out of some of your summer dresses, below are five outfits to replicate:
