In this first outfit, I took the same dress and paired it with a floral denim shirt from Target and a burgundy sweater from H&M. Adding a skinny belt over your sweater helps define your waistline. I accomplished being warm (because my work was really cold!) and found a way to incorporate this dress into fall.

This second outfit, I went for a more casual look. I took off the belt and added a pair of western style brown boots. I love the brown boots contrasting against the black dress. Its important that an outfit accomplished two things for me: one, I feel great and two, I can maintain my style.

Which outfit is your favorite? Do you wear your summer dresses in the fall? Are you one to pack away your summer clothes and only use them for summer?
Both fall looks are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI will have to see if I can try that with one of my dresses.
Thanks Adrienne. I can't wait to see what you come up with, I bet it will be fabulous.
DeleteLove it with the boots! I do the same thing with my summer dresses. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, so much.
DeleteBoth looks are great! I love the belted sweater in the first look and the boots with the second. I feel the same way about getting the most out of your clothes. If you can work your summer pieces into the fall/winter it's a win-win! Heather
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, I love getting use out of my clothes all year.
DeleteI love how you made the look work for fall! I keep finding myself relying on black dress pants and it's getting so boring. I need to get back into the habit of making my dresses and skirts work for cooler temperatures!

I find myself picking pants a lot, I am giving the dresses and skirts more of a try before the crazy temperatures start.
DeleteLove it both ways! Great ways of mixing summer & fall pieces!
ReplyDeleteI did put away a lot of my summer things but managed to keep a few maxi skirts & dresses to wear with oversize sweaters.
Great styling ideas, Carrie - I do the same with my sleeveless dresses. Love the look with boots. Thanks so much for sharing with Visible Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove the look with the boots! In fact, I'm wearing a more-summery dress today...just paired it with tights & a jean jacket. Dresses & skirts are my go-to during the fall & winter. I try to avoid wearing pants. (you know what I mean...that didn't sound right!) Come visit me - bring Molly! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it about the pants, I want to come see you and I think it would be a great idea for Molly's and I's birthday. Hers is in March and mine in February.
DeleteThis is something I'm going to try this year ... I have some floaty-high-low prints that I think might work with boots, tights and a sweater or blazer. Thanks for the great illustration and inspiration!

I do this with all but my most summery of dresses. Tights, boots, and a cardigan are usually all it takes!
