Although we are well into September, the heat remains in our southern state forecast and with it presents the challenge of wearing fall fashion against the odds. I, however have developed a hack for this dilemma over years of contemplation, and have concluded that the best solution for our toasty fall weather is to simply change our color scheme and continue with our summer silhouettes in fall shades. Allow me to elaborate…

Juliet Dunn dress, Ralph Lauren Bag

If you have been paying attention, you will remember the popular bow shoulders from this summer. Set atop of a flowy sundress, this was an ideal look and still remains an adorable feature. I’ve only switched the color to black, and added a warm leather accessory to create a fall ensemble.
Catch my drift? ;)

Cut out dress

Here is another perfect example of a fall trend (the flattering mid cut outs) and wearing a fall colored version with the dusty pink and rose florals. So ideal with a boot or leather flats.

Burgundy dress

I love this dark shade that perfectly embodies fall. It is also easily dressed up or down. Wear it alone to brave the hot weather, or throw of a cozy cardigan in the evening.

Blue gingham

An unexpected color done beautifully in a fall gingham. I think this could be adorable at the pumpkin patch with boots and a hat, or worn with a platform sneaker.

Striped tee dress

This dress is on sale for under $50! The caramel color is a great neutral under a black jacket and the white stripe begs to be paired with matching sneakers.

My dress is also on sale, and my shoes are old Chanel, but I found a similar pair here, and linked my bag here. See below for more dress finds for fall colors in summer silhouettes! Xx
