One Dress Summer to Fall



Summer 2022 version..  I loved this dress the minute I put it on way back in February, when we were fully submerged in winter.  I bought it immediately knowing I wanted to wear it for my 40th birthday in Italy but unfortunately the dress never made it due to our luggage being lost (not to worry I did get a replacement dress that I love just as much).  I love the neckline and fitted bodice, the fluttery shoulder straps, the romantic floral pattern, and it has pockets!  The fabric is also ultra soft and comforting.  It was the perfect dress to wear to backyard birthday parties, BBQs or lunches.  Since I spent most of my time at the lake, on the boat and beach, it didn't get nearly as much wear as I had hoped so this fall season I am going to utilize it a bit more.  






Fall 2022 version. Since maxi dresses are having a moment this fall, I decided to trade my wedges for booties, and throw on another IT fall 2022 staple, a leather jacket. The leather jacket is a new to me purchase that I scored for $20 online from our local buy and sell FB group and it's in mint condition.  Leather jackets, blazers, pants, skirts are all having a moment this fall season but to be honest a leather jacket has been in style for a very long time so investing in one is definitely worth it.  I opted for sizing up to a medium so that I can layer heavier knits underneath as the weather changes.





What's your go to summer to fall 2022 transition look?   I am not ready to put my summer wardrobe away just yet!

  1. Beautiful pictures! I love it styled both ways. I have a dark green hand me down leather jackets that I need to get rid of and hope to find a 2nd hand black one. Love those booties too and that dress is definitely a keeper. Very pretty!

  3. That is such a pretty dress on you and it layers so well with the leather jacket for cooler weather! I've not worn my leather jackets as much as I thought I would this past winter which was a shame - but I did get in a few wearings of the leather jacket and dress combo - I always enjoy wearing it!

    Hope you are having a great day :)

    1. Thanks so much. Sometimes it's hard to wear all of the things and it really has to be the perfect weather much of the time, don't you think. In winter a leather jacket would never be warm enough around these parts anyway so the best time for me is early fall or later spring.

  7. It's really a bummer about your lost luggage. Hopefully it will still show up even though it may be months later. I love maxi dresses and this one you are wearing is beautiful with the print and style. The leather jacket to make it fall perfect is a great idea! I adore the edgy vibe. Perfect for fall!
