my everyday style: a summer dress in fall!

I've mentioned here before that I don't really have a "summer" wardrobe versus a "spring" wardrobe, or a full on "winter" wardrobe or "fall" only apparel.  I have definite "summer" pieces like shorts and swim cover ups and "winter" pieces like coats and boots that only get worn in their intended season, but everything in between is fair game.  I wear sandals into the fall, tank tops under blazers in the winter.  I'm known to sneak a sweater into summer with some shorts and here I brought my favorite spring/summer dress straight into fall with a few layers.

I've been wearing this striped dress since April on spring break and now I'm stilling wearing it.  The more versatile a piece can be, the better in my opinion.  Here I simply paired my favorite summer dress with a denim jacket and a blanket scarf and voila - it's a super simple fall look!  And it's the perfect layers for these cool mornings we have been having!

my everyday style: striped dress combo!

Who me in stripes? I know… monumental. This is the thing. I just wear the stuff I like, not the clothes that I think people will ohh and ahh over.  I don't pull a lot of punches with clothes. I just like what is comfortable and what is easy to wear.  That is not going to make me the most popular blogger but I hope it makes me a relatable one.

I seriously try to keep these outfit photos super real.  As a blogger I have found that it can be easy to try and over do it with the photos or to make my outfits into something ultra styled and nothing like what I would wear in real life.  Or to buy a bunch of new clothes to keep the photos fresh.  But that's just not me. This dress is over a year old - I've worn it here and here - and this vest is from last fall.  But the reason I show outfits here on the blog is to show you that a dress from two springs ago and a fall vest can be remixed into a great new summer look.
