Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Back to School" and was picked by Bo!
We are halfway through August right now and even though we have a lot of hot days ahead of us, summer vacation is over for most kids and a lot of adults with seasonal jobs will be returning to work. During this transitional time, I like to focus on transitioning my wardrobe from summer clothes to fall. Even though the weather is still warm, I like to look "fall" by wearing fall colors.
This classic burgundy shift dress is so old I can't believe it hasn't fallen apart by now. My daughter actually found it for me on a clearance rack at Charming Charlies...which has long since gone out of business but the dress lives on! I have shown it so many times before on this blog. Here are some of the many ways I've styled it that show how versatile this dress is!
With a Shacket and Tall Boots
With A Kimono
With a Cardigan and Scarf
With a Head Scarf and Lace Up Flats
With a Denim Vest and Lace Up Wedges
Is this dress versatile or what? Solid color basic pieces like this dress are the perfect starting point to creating unique outfits. The burgundy color, short sleeves, and short length of the dress make it a wonderful dress for fall because the color of the dress is a fall color, but the dress style is summer. I can add layers that can keep me warm on the cooler mornings/evenings, but can also be taken off in the heat of the day.
On the day that I wore this outfit, we were on a late summer trip to Springfield Illinois. It was a hot day, and we were doing a lot of sight seeing so I wanted to be comfortable, yet cute.
I wore a dark brown felt hat to protect myself from the sun, carried a saddle crossbody bag for security reasons and ease of carrying while sightseeing, and comfy loafer shoes.
So what about you? How are you getting ready to go back to school/work or transitioning your summer clothes for fall? I'd love to hear from you.
Now be sure to check out the other ladies "Back to School" outfits and be sure to link up with us as well.
Have A Great Day! Amy
