how to wear a summer dress into fall

how to wear a summer dress in fall: layer with a chambray shirt or denim jacket and ankle booties // click for outfit details

1/ chambray shirt // 2/ a-line dress // 3/ curve post earrings // 4/ contra pendant // 5/ buckle strap bag // 5/ julina booties

A simple dress is one of summer’s easiest styling tricks. You can keep comfortable in the heat and look put together at the same time. But as temps start to drop, there’s no reason to retire those summer dresses to the back of your closet. Instead, extend summer dress season by tossing on a chambray shirt or denim jacket and a pair of ankle boots. Take it even further into the year by tossing on a pair of tights, and suddenly you can justify scooping up a few more summer dresses at the end of the season when they go on sale!

simple casual style

simple casual style: jeans, t-shirt, and a bold stone necklace // click through for outfit details

1/ flecked sweater // 2/ boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra necklace // 4/ hobo bag // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ cutout d’orsay flats

I’ve had a busy last couple of weeks and that’s probably going to be my reality for the next few as well. Some of that busyness involves showing up and looking presentable, which is always more challenging when you’re feeling run ragged. Fortunately, I’ve got a secret weapon. I just toss on a fantastic Contra Collection necklace over jeans and a t-shirt and I’ve got a look that’s casual and fabulous at the same time!

little black (and white) lace dress for fall

little black (and white) lace dress with ankle boots for fall // click through for outfit details

1/ lace smock dress // 2/ contra bib necklace // 3/ clutch // 4/ heeled ankle boots

I love outfits that come together easily, and a great dress is one of the best ways to quickly pull together a fabulous look. I’d pair this dress with bare legs, ankle boots, and a major bib necklace to keep the look more edgy boho then Wednesday Adams. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Wednesday Adams. Growing up, I had a serious girl crush on Wednesday as played by Christina Ricci. So if that’s your thing, go ahead and rock this dress with black tights and double braids. I won’t judge. I’m just partial to dresses with no tights and ankle boots!)

When it comes to your wardrobe, certain pieces just scream summer. Like this pair of light colored, floral print pants. But that doesn’t mean you can’t carry them into fall. By swapping a tank and sandals for a sweater and booties, you can keep wearing those floral pants (or whatever summer staple you’re trying to integrate) long after the temperatures drop!

casual style: how to wear flared jeans for fall

casual fall style: how to wear flared jeans and wedges for fall // click through for outfit details

1/ striped sweater // 2/ flared jeans // 3/ contra pendant // 4/ cross body bag // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ peep toe wedges

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of flared jeans and slouchy sweaters popping up in my Pinterest feed, and I have to admit that it’s a casual look I’m starting to love for fall. It’s easy and chic at the same time, especially when you opt for a pair of flared jeans that aren’t super tight on the knee (which tend to read a little young). Wedges are great for adding a bit of height to overly long jeans (especially if you’re too lazy to hem). And if you’re the kind of girl who thinks that wedges don’t work for casual style, give them another try. You’d be surprised at just how comfortable the right pair of wedges can be and the extra height makes even an average day seem so much more interesting.

casual weekend style

casual weekend style: grey, cream, and jeans // click through for outfit details

1/ fight or flight tank // 2/ blanket stitch cape // 3/ slim boyfriend jeans // 4/ large contra pendant // 5/ woven ombre clutch // 6/ mixed metal stacking rings // 7/ flat buckle sandals

I love the combo of grey and cream – it’s a subtler version of grey and white that’s perfect for more casual, relaxed looks! This outfit is perfect for a late summer weekend, just toss on the cape (which is basically a giant blanket scarf – an ideal fall staple) for cooler evenings or air conditioned restaurants!
