Isn't it crazy how there seem to be so many seasons in fashion? Spring, fall, resort, pre-fall, and with fast fashion retailers like H&M, it can seem like they all blur together. A few weeks ago, I had a good laugh with Lei Ann (Lei Ann...Off Duty), Holly (Covetous Creatures) and Najeema (A Stylized Hysteria) over pre-fall in particular. Basically, pre-fall is this: Take a dress, add black tights, and a cardigan or jacket. So I had to laugh when I found this safari dress at Mint Julep's crazy sidewalk sale this past weekend. Sure, it looks great now, but how pre-fall is this dress? Imagine it with black tights, awesome boots and a jacket! You probably won't have to imagine for long - I'll be bringing this one back as soon as the centigrade drops.
Dress: LA Made via Mint Julep
Shoes: Modcloth
Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters
Earrings: Purchased on vacation in Peru
Watch: Michael Kors

That will be great in Costa Rica!
ReplyDeleteLove dresses like this that can transition into Fall. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pre-fall! And if you unbutton it and add sunglasses, a straw hat and a bikini top it's totally resort - ha! Great find!
ReplyDeleteLOL, it's definitely pre-fall. And going forward, add a fur vest, hat, and boots with socks and it's winter-ready! Am I taking this too far?
ReplyDeleteps- Demanding cat pics. Otherwise I'm going to crawl into your home and take them myself!
I second the demand for more feline photos!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the pre-fall debate. On the other hand it'll be great to see this dress with leggings and boots too. Such a great staple
ReplyDeleteGotta love versatile dresses :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
great dress! safari is a look i still love & feel will never go out of style. i still giggle at hearing pre-fall!
ReplyDeleteHahahhaa, so true! My sister and I were just talking about pre-fall styling today when we were shopping for shoes. I tried on a pair of beige Nine West sandal/wedges that would have been so perfect with maroon stockings!
ReplyDeleteHahaha yeah, I sometimes get confused with all the lines designers makes.. I have never done pre-fall or any of that but this looks fab on you.. I like where you took the pictures.. House?
