Outfits Not Just Clothes

 We are a little over a week away from the official start of fall and I am itching to bust out chunky knits, flannels, boots, and denim.  But before we settle in for autumn, here's another take on this summer dress, last seen in this post , paired with a different type of sweater.  dress-Universal Standard(more options here ), cardi- Banana Republic Factory , sunnies- Kate Spade , necklaces-Mejuri(more options here ), belt-Gap(more options here ), bag-Shiraleah(similar here ), shoes-Born(similar here ),  In this version we have the same dress, but dressed up a bit with a sleek cardigan, belt, bag, and sandals. I can definitely see this dress transition into fall/winter with a turtleneck and boots. Which is your favorite, above belted and beige or here tone-on-tone?

But after reviewing these shots with the bright blue sky and leafy green hillside I  have deemed rompers eligible for #FunShortsFriday.  I normally wear this summertime staple around the house just with a sports bra because it's easy and soft and has pockets, perfect for lounging or light chores. This was also a comfortable and functional garment after I had my second baby two summers ago, easy access for breastfeeding, and loose on the crotch--essentials for any new mother. 😉👶 For this OOTD I styled it up with a crocheted tank, braided belt, gold jewelry, and my summer shoe of 2020 this sling-back sandal. I love the contrast of these graphic polka dots squares, with the boho bib of the tank grounded by neutral accessories. I also love wearing a layer ...

I've had this belt forever and I have no idea where I got it, but it's been quite versatile over the years. You'd think such a bold accessory would only work with a neutral look, however it actually coordinates with all kinds of outfits--colorful casual here, or with a printed dress for work, or with a blazer, jeans, and boots look OR  a bold 80's esque power b*tch .
