How to To Wear A Summer Dress in Fall

 

 

This adorable dress can easily be transitioned to fall when you add a scarf and booties. This dress has great details on the back. I linked to each piece directly but also linked to similar pieces. If one piece sells out, you can easily create a similar look yourself. With new arrivals each week, you may even find something you like better than the piece I featured.

Outfit #1 – Summer:

1. Floral Dress  – more floral dresses
2. Lace Up Flats  – more flats
3. Cross Body Bag  – more crossbody bags

 

Outfit #1 – Fall:

1. Floral Dress –  more floral dresses
2. Heel Booties – more booties
3. Scarf – more scarves
4. Leather Tote –  more totes

This mixed print top and distressed cropped jeans are on trend this summer and fall. A simple cropped cardigan is a great basic and can transition many tops. I love that this one has a ruched sleeve and shawl collar. It is made of a lightweight knit perfect for fall and even cool summer evenings!

Outfit #2 – Summer:

1. Cropped Jeans – more cropped jeans
2. Mix Top – more mixed print tops
3. Lace Up Flats – more flats
4. Fold Over Crossbody – more crossbody bags

Outfit #2 – Fall:

1. Cropped Jeans – more cropped jeans
2. Mix Top – more mixed print tops
3. Leather Comfort Boots – more boots
4. Ruby Rd Cardigan – more cardigans

I think this outfit might just be my favorite. I love that the long cardigan and short leather boots totally transform this top and skirt. The summer outfit is quite trendy with lace, caged sandals and animal print while the fall outfit is trendy in a bit more boho way. This really goes to show how accessories can really make an outfit.

Outfit #3 – Summer:

1. Meade Skirt – more skirts
2. Crochet Sleeveless Top – more sleeveless tops
3. Cage Sandals – more sandals
4. Satchel – more satchels

Outfit #3 – Fall:

1. Meade Skirt – more skirts
2. Crochet Sleeveless Top – more sleeveless tops
3. Short Leather Boots – more short boots
4. Long Cardigan with Tie – more long cardigans
5. Crossbody Bag – more crossbody bags

Outfits like this last one are good for summer as well as transition into fall. Depending on where you live, temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day so a cardigan is useful year-round. The fall outfit though also has super cute booties and a fringe bag which helps with the fall vibe. Just a few simple tweaks can totally change the feel of an outfit.

Outfit #4 – Summer:

1. Classic Fit Pants – more pants
2. Printed Tank – more printed tanks
3. Round Toe Flats – more flats
4. Cross Body Bag – more crossbody bags

Outfit #4 – Fall:

1. Classic Fit Pants – more pants
2. Printed Tank – more printed tanks
3. Leather Heel Booties – more booties
4. Cocoon Cardigan – more cardigans
5. Suede Shoulder Bag – more handbags

 

After looking at these outfits, I am sure you have noticed that summer to fall transition fashion is not rocket science. It requires just basic changes with accessories and shoes to make summer into fall outfits. You can try out trends with accessories as well.
