So, here’s how I’m transitioning it.
I’m such a dress person. Most days you will find me wearing an easy dress of some kind. I have many favorites.
But then, September rolls around…
The air is changing, the days are getting shorter. So I’m already feeling nostalgic about the summer fading away.
As fate would have it, the arrival of our September catalog proved that there was a way to keep my dresses in steady rotation come fall, and even add a few new ones to the mix. Keep reading to learn a few of my favorite styling techniques:

Look #1: Layered with A Thermal
I love the idea of teaming a shapeless dress over a printed thermal to give it some added interest. Chunky boots and soles are this season’s go-tos, and the juxtaposition between edgy and sweet is perfect as we head into fall. Pairing a printed long-sleeve top under a colorful dress is calling for me and makes me crave a solid night of sitting on the couch binge-watching “My So-Called Life.” The retro floral print and the pop of color has me nostalgic for the 90’s!
Look #2: Layered Over Pants + Under A Tee
The dresses I buy often become staples in my wardrobe, so I always like to make sure I have a variety of them: shapeless, button-through, maxi, midi, you name it. I know I will get my wear out of them. For this look, a maxi button-through dress is key. Unbutton to the waist to show your pants, and then make it more casual by teaming a graphic tee on top. Pull on your retro flares and find your lived-in western boots and you’re ready with a “I’m with the band” look. (Even if you’re just having a dance party at home.)

Look #4: Over Tights
In the fall and winter, I love clashing prints and textures. It can be a look that people may be intimidated by, but if you get the prints right it can look incredible. Our secret is to make sure you balance your prints. I love that the dress and leggings have the same sensibility, then the large plaid coat gives it an interesting twist. This look is for sure going to keep me nice and warm in the winter.
Try it! See how many ways you can restyle your summer dresses this fall.
