Slow Transition into Autumn

 Hello, welcome all, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Autumn is not fully in the air,
 in my part of the country, yet
 It will probably be a good 6 weeks
 before I switch to my fall and winter wardrobe,
in earnest 
September and October are lovely months,
 weather-wise where I live on the coast of Maryland
 I am starting to get creative with the transition
 season with some layering, 
and going a little bit darker with my accessories,
 but certainly not full on fall yet!
How about you?
Are you ready for fall, or holding on
 to the last vestiges of summer? 

Today, I am wearing a bright, royal blue shirt dress 
with a multicolored ditzy floral tank top
   belted on top
 


Roger is joining me this week

The blues and reds in his necktie match my outfit


I chose some of my go-to classic 
gold tone jewelry for this outfit
 A pair of chain design hoop earrings, 
a hinged knot bracelet,
 and my chunky chain initial necklace




More accessories!
Pictured are the wide red woven belt
 I am wearing, and the fancy starburst
 crochet headband in my hair


For a bag I chose an old favorite-
a dark red quilted square shape one, with chain a strap


Dark red low wedge heel sling backs
 to finish this transitional look



If this dress looks familiar, I wore it styled differently
on the blog last September,
in a post titled "Transitioning in Shirt Dresses"
This style of dress is so versatile
 this one is a great transitioning piece for summer to fall,
 as well as winter to spring


Late summer and early fall bloomers-
long legged spider mums!



I hope you all have a great week!

  1. I love your creative layering! I sometimes wear sweaters over dresses, but I don't think I have tried a vest like that. It works so well, especially with the belt! Thanks for the inspiration!

  2. Love how you've created a bang up to date outfit with the on-trend vest. Roger is toning nicely! Our weather sounds very similar. It's still warm here. We don't get colder weather until late October, which is when the leaves start to fall. Have a good week!

  3. Why do I always forget to wear something over a dress???I always like it a lot when otther women show that. Great idea Di. It's a beautiful dress and also love it a lot with that fabulous belt!

  4. The knitted vest looks great layered over the dress! It's turning cooler here in the north of England so I'm digging out my sweaters. Thanks for linking!
