Dresses For A Flawless Summer To Fall Transition

August 21, 2020 · In: Fall & Winter, Fashion, Spring & Summer

The end of August is near, which means fall is upon us! I feel like this time of year is so weird for fashion. Depending on what region you live in it’s not easy to jump from summer clothes straight to fall. Here in PA some of our hottest days in the year can often come in September. And on a weekly basis it is hard to know what to expect. Just earlier this week it was in the 60’s, now it is in the high 80’s!

Needless to say, it is crucial to have pieces that can transfer easily from summer to fall. Today I wanted to share some of my recent favorite finds for all budgets that y’all can snag to add to your wardrobe for the upcoming season. 

Babydoll Dress from Francesca’s

I scored this adorable dress the other day, see it on in this pic on my IG. I think this is a great piece, it is so feminine, and it is so affordable. It retails for $48 but it’s on sale today for $25! Such a steal. I got a size S.

Sleeveless Ruffle Dress from Target

I’ve been seeing this dress everywhere and it is so cute! I love it by itself but when temperatures start to drop it would be great with a denim jacket and booties. It is size inclusive as well, it is available from a size XS to 4X!

Tiered Minidress by English Factory

I’ve been seeing so much online lately from the brand English Factory and I am honestly obsessed. Their pieces are so feminine and classic, yet on trend. I love this pastel green this season, it’s great for early fall. And the sleeves and tiers on this dress are just stunning. This dress could definitely be dressed up or down.

Striped Midi Dress from Draper James

How stunning is this button up dress from Draper James! The tie belt would make this so flattering, and we know I can’t resist navy stripes. This piece is a bit pricier at $135 but it can be brought back out for spring and summer, or worn year around if your climate allows it.

Zebra Stretch Dress from Lilly Pulitzer

The moment I saw this dress I knew it had to be mine! How fun is this print along with the easy silhouette? I am obsessed! Of course, Lilly isn’t cheap. But any Lilly lover knows they get their money’s worth of their favorite Lilly pieces.

I hope y’all enjoyed this little compilation! Make sure you are subscribed to my email list to be notified when I make a new post. There is so much fun fall and wedding content coming up. Stay tuned!

xoxo

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫
*as a Disney annual passholder*
(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
