Summer Dress Guide - Wear Now and Into Fall

While casual may be the “look of the moment”, dresses can certainly be very casual. I love to put on a dress at the beach, even if it’s just to go for a ride in the golf cart or eat an al fesco dinner. While the temperatures tell us that we’re in the throws of summer, fall is right around the corner and the stores are beginning to reflect that with fall colors, and even sweaters and booties!

July is the month when the fall issue of Vogue (the fashion bible) comes out and for as long as I can remember, I’ve sat in a chair on the beach and planned my fall wardrobe (my fantasy fall wardrobe that is). This year will be no different, but I’m sure I’m not alone in my concern that there will be no where to go wearing all those beautiful fall clothes. I’m dreaming of football games, trips to the mountains, outdoor parties with friends…all the fall activities. I’m sure we’ll be very creative with our get togethers and we’ll figure out how to be stylish while social distancing and staying home. Keep scrolling for a boutique of great dresses that you’ll want to wear now, and a few that you’ll want to add to your closet for fall.

One way to transition summer dresses to fall is with booties and jackets. Denim jackets are perfect for this as are tan suede booties that go with almost everything. Alternately, it’s fun to pair tan sandals with jeans and a sweater for a cute transitional look.
