Create28~Summer to Fall Transition

Hey friends! Happy to Co-Hosting with Carrie {Curly Crafty Mom} and Jill {Doused in Pink} for Thursday Fashion Files. Be sure to link up your great looks below.

Earlier this week I styled shorts for a summer to fall transition and I’m at it again today but not with shorts. This time I’m featuring that little grey sheath that has already run many miles of looks for me. About a year ago I featured seven looks with it and that’s exactly what I’m going to do today. The original post is found here.

Here’s the basic dress which I picked up at Old Navy in the summer of 2014 for $10.00.

It’s a new year and new transitional looks for this October. Why not start with a little plaid? I’m trying it two different ways for two completely different looks. First up is a favorite plaid blouse that I picked up last fall at f21.

Do you love plaid on your feet? I wasn’t sure but I’m sold. Great pop of color and pattern on your feet creates something different and even unexpected.

Sweaters are a perfect completer piece for this little sheath. Since the grey is completely neutral, it would be difficult to find a color that did not work well. In this type of instance, I recommend trying your favorite color or colors that will pop because the grey needs a little pizzaz.

I chose a jewel tone color. This cardigan is a little more fitted than some of my others and it makes a difference in how this sheath actually looks on me fit wise. I also really like this shade of purple for my skin tone.

What about an office/classroom classic look? This wide belt creates a waist and brings a good definition to the dress. This is classic, simple and chic in my opinion. Of course, a pop of leopard print never hurts!

We tend to love camo in all sorts of forms in this household. So camo it is for another look.

How about some sparkle? We all need a little sparkle and shine in our lives don’t we?

Finally, a little femininity is needed to make this dress really well-rounded. A little blush with floral is another option.

There is also a little inspiration for summer to fall transition on Pinterest. Please stop and check out the board below.

    • Thanks, Jill! Always, love co-hosting with you two ladies! Hope you're having a nice week.
  • I so love that dress on you Carrie! And you have styled it in so many great outfits! They are all great but I especially love the sparkle look and the classic office/classroom look.
    • I was going to include in the post which was my favorite but I completely forgot. Classic was my fave too!

    • Yes, I believe that my plaid loving friend!
  • Susan Wiles
    This is your best post yet. Love all the looks, especially the belted one, except I would probably do a 3/4 length sleeve. Really, really, cute!
    • Thanks, Susan! I didn't think of 3/4 length sleeve but that is a great idea. Glad you stopped by today.

    • Hehe! Thanks, Katie! I'm loving these booties. Thanks, Target! Best purchase I've made in a while.
  • Veronica Urbaniak
    Wow! Love ALL these looks!! Great job! One thing I would love if you did is at the end a little compilation of your remix style similar to what Audrey of Putting Me Together does - this makes it really easy to pin a single pin to a style inspiration board!
    • That's a great idea Veronica! Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely work on that for future posts. Input like that is so helpful and I really appreciate it!
  • What a great find--clearly it's a super versatile piece and I love all the ways that you've styled it. I think my favorites are your two plaid looks--I like the look of the shirt layered under the dress, and I'm in LOVE with those little plaid loafers!
    • Those loafers were from ON last fall too. I think they might have them again. Thanks for stopping by again, Shea!
  • That dress is so versatile - and looks great on you!
  • Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom
    I am amazed at how many different ways you have styled this dress! It really makes me want to go out and get a similar one... my favorite is with the red plaid shirt under it! Thank you for co-hosting with us! Carrie curlycraftymom.com
    • It's so versatile! Color, style, seasonless love those kinds of pieces.
  • I am SO SO impressed with all of the options you've provided! In fact, I'm glad I had a sneak peak when I went to post this because you totally inspired my transitional outfit :)
    • Yay!! Don't we love to inspire each other and others too? I love that!!
