From summer to fall: the lace dress

The ability to transition a piece of clothing in your wardrobe between seasons is always a big plus when it comes to saving money. Versatility, my friends! As the summer begins to wind down in the next few weeks, I thought I’d show a few examples of how I would transition some summer pieces into fall. I’m starting with a pretty little lace dress. The coral hue has been perfect for summer! Add a pair of fringed booties and a sassy necklace and you’re pretty much good to go for the warm weather:

Coral crochet lace dress: $44.50 – dELiA*s // Perchin’ Place or Thing Necklace: $19.99 – ModCloth // Rooftop Album Release Clutch: $37.99 – ModCloth // Sam Edelman Louie: $160 – Zappos

But how would I transition this pretty little dress to the fall? I decided to go from a more “boho” vibe from the summer look to a somewhat more Western theme for the fall. Adding a denim/chambray shirt can keep you warmer in autumn, and sporting a pair of tall boots will ensure your legs don’t get chilly. The same dress: two different seasons!

Coral crochet lace dress: $44.50 dELiA*s // Kenneth Cole New York Urban Mesh Studded Pendant Necklace: $48 – Piperlime // Lightweight denim shirt: $39.50 – dELiA*s // Reelive tall boot: $189.95 – Steve Madden // ALDO Strazzullo: $50 – Zappos

So – which outfit do you like? How do you like to transition pieces from summer to fall?

I love throwing chambray shirts over some of my fancier dresses–not only does it make them more acceptable for day, but also allows them to last into the cooler seasons. Love your two outfits!

    I can’t wait until the weather gets a little bit cooler here in Florida so I can do it!

I have boots that look exactly like those Madden’s – except mine are Born’s. I seriously need that outfit.
