The Perfect Fall Transition Dress

September 21, 2016

I guess it comes as no surprise to you that I love a good dress. I rarely go a week without posting one. This floral beauty is the perfect fall transition dress, and it’s under $50! It is also available in non-maternity here. What makes it the perfect fall transition dress? It is short (warm weather appropriate) with long sleeves (cool weather appropriate). The combination of these two things makes it very versatile and long lasting seasonally.

Dresses like this are easy to pair with a strappy sandal or heel for a slightly more summery feel like I have done today, ankle boots for early fall like I did here, or OTK boots like I did here. As you can see, I think they are pretty much the bees knees. As the weather cools even more, you can simply add layers (think cardigans, moto jackets, and/or vests) and a pair of tights to extend them even longer. I’m linking a ton of great non-maternity options below all of which are under $100!

    So cute! I love the back of the dress! You’re hair is super cute too! It looks straighter or styled differently?

    I totally agree with this post…long sleeve dresses are so good. I have a bunch of them, too! Your hair looks a little different here and I love it (but it looks good every day of course!)

    Dresses are so versatile – I could definitely see you layering a sleeveless vest or moto jacket over that dress for fall/winter.
