A Sleeveless Chambray Dress Transition, a Pink Floral Cardigan and a Linkup.
Happy Hump Day and Happy Pink Day! On Mondays and Wednesdays (this month) I wear Pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I am posting this late because I think I might have gotten a little cold. Last night this back pain started and then it ended up on my neck too. It was a bad pain but Ibuprofen helped. This morning I woke up with headaches though. =( The drastic change in temperatures may have gotten me, this time.
I have been doing so many transitional Summer to Fall Looks lately but I hope you don't mind them. Here is my latest one, styling this Casual Sleeveless Chambray Dress. A dress like this was something I wanted to get this Summer so I found one, on sale, at the end of July. I am looking for a dressier (yet pretty casual) long-sleeve chambray shirt-dress in a medium wash, still. This was so easy to convey from Summer to early Fall. Black Sandals and a Long Beaded Turquoise+Teal+Brown Beaded Necklace were replaced with Fringe Booties and a Hot Pink Floral Cardigan which I belted with a Metallic Python Belt. And I was done! What do you think? The Summer Outfit is OK: simple and nothing really too fashion-forward but I am loving the early Fall look.

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon Ada! That chambray dress is adorable! It's also the perfect layering piece for Fall. You can wear a long sleeve shirt underneath or layer a sweater over it (like you did in these pictures).
