Dressing For Hot Temps In The Fall
Fall is great and all, but we in the Midwest are experiencing record-breaking temperatures, making it much hotter than normal!
As a sleepy girl, this helps me buy some time before I need to swap out my seasonal pieces.
As excited as I am for sweater weather, I am happy to play in my summer closet a little longer and wear cute things like this green maxi dress I thrifted at the start of the season. It makes me feel like I live in a truly warmer climate and I’m excited by the challenge of getting dressed!
Let’s explore why it works for right now and how you can avoid switching out your closet for a while, too!
Why a Maxi Dress Is Great For Fall
Towards the end of summer, you’re probably like me and craving the cooler temps and lots of layers. A maxi dress is the in-between outfit that gives you the layers you want with the temperature regulation that you need.
Also a bonus? It’s a one-and-done look! Everyone will think you’re so put together, but really you’re just done with summer and threw on something comfy.
How I Styled a Maxi Dress For Fall
I had a recent family celebration and was trying to dress in a way that matched the energy we all had.
This thrifted green maxi dress fit the bill. It was fun to style with rainbow accessories to keep the color story going.
I didn’t actually use a yellow purse because I was too busy snapping photos, but it would have been my choice if I had been carrying a bag that day.
