Summer Love for Another Time

The Head and the Heart - Lost In My Mind from Bobby McHugh on Vimeo.

When I think of a wonderful summer time I think of California beaches, falling in love, and that cute short dress that makes you feel alive because it exposes your epidermis to the summer's flare. 

My favorite part of that thought is just being able to feel the loveliness and the aliveness when the warmth of a breeze caresses my skin.

Let's pretend that the summer's heat has gone (for those with weather well below 80 degrees, you're living the dream): The summer has ended, if you did have some kind of magical love, well, cliche determines a heartbreak must abound. But what cliche forgets to tell you is the further devastation you will feel, the further heartbreak you will have when you have to say goodbye to your favorite summer dress. 

If the dress could talk, though, it'd say one little word over and over: Versatility. 

Most of us would agree that the best thing about the fall and about winter is layering. My favorite thing about sleeping is LAYERING. 

But I digress. Grab that favorite dress from the back of your closet and manipulate its summer flare and make it work for fall and winter -- for times they are a-changing! Toss in some simple tights, a light sweater/cardigan, and those irresistible boots that have been gathering dust bunnies for the other half of the year.

Although the dress I chose to showcase here has darker shades, you can definitely make any of your dresses work by pairing it up with a fall trend, such as a pale soft color knitted sweater (think Taylor Swift). 

The sweater I through on was a hand-me down from my sister part of a Moda International brand; the dress is from Wet Seal for $20, tights from Target for $6 and boots for $17 from Target (reduced from $35.99).
