This maxi dress was another favorite summer item. And to be honest I neatly folded it up and put it away for the season. But then I got to thinking… why can’t I wear it now that the weather is hovering in the 60s? So I pulled it out of the bottom of my summer drawer and went to work pairing it with fall items. The pattern might be a little too summery, but I’m willing to rock it on bright sunny days. Tip: Every season requires at least one go-to-sweater. This is the one you can throw on with almost every look and it works while still being current. [Dress: Express, Cami: Express, Sweater: Express, Belt: Conways, Boots: Zappos, Beret: H&M]
