Petite Fashion Challenge #10: Summer to Fall!

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Elaine

Wow another Petite Fashion Challenge is here! This time it’s being hosted by Fashion For Teens

The Challenge:

…to take traditionally summer pieces (like tank tops, shorts, mini skirts, sundresses etc.) and make them appropriate for fall.

So…I was kind of stumped on this one.  I could always wear tank tops in the Fall – simple – just throw on a blazer/sweater! I am new to shorts and would not wear them in the Fall (the shorts and tights things is something I just can’t pull off) and I’m not a mini skirt girl!  I decided to take one of my favorite dresses from this summer and see what I could do with it.

This dress is also my VERY first Anthropologie purchase!  I just love the way this dress fits me.

Here I am in the dress on a summer night in Ottawa:

….and here’s my take on transitioning this dress for Fall

Boots: Me Too size 7
Scarf: Dara Dot Designs
I’m actually not sure how I feel about this outfit, I don’t think it’s something I would actually wear out but I liked the idea of wearing fall booties with a colourful printed dress.  The scarf is something I’ve actually been wearing a lot.  It’s the perfect accessory – it’s lightweight so it doesn’t feel too hot but I love how it drapes and creates that layered look that’s perfect for Fall!
Another fall trend I tried to incorporate was a dark lipstick.  This is best done by keeping the rest of your makeup super simple.  I can’t really pull this look off either right now as I think you really do need close to perfect skin – which unfortunately I don’t have at the moment.  I’ve been suffering from terrible breakouts the past few months so this is not a trend I will be trying anytime soon.

  • This is a long video, and a change from our typical content, but it’s something I really wanted to hear your thoughts on. Did this sports team miss an opportunity? Was my student’s question too tough or unrealistic? We still had lots of fun at the pep rally, but the rewording of this question really bugged me. Is “follow your dreams” a satisfying answer in this case? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #womeninsports #feminist #sexism #aagpbl #domore #mlb #sexisminsport #likeagirl #femaleathlete #foodforthought #bluejays #tbjwintertour #torontobluejays

  • ✨ REST IS PRODUCTIVE ✨ @adam__malek got me this sticker for Christmas, and I genuinely cried when I saw it. I need the reminder. The idea that productivity = self-worth is so damaging, and one that is often marketed heavily in the new year. I struggle with the “I haven’t been busy enough to deserve a rest - guess I’ll just take on too many projects and then revenge procrastinate because of burnout and get no sleep, then scramble and feel like I need to do even more!” cycle. I feel compelled to list everything I’ve done on the weekend
  • I love puzzles - especially word and math games - and KenKens are one of my faves! I’ve been completing a LOT of these over the holiday. Such a fun way to take a break from screens and challenge your brain ➡️ Screenshot the blank board to play along with me! (No cheating! ) ⏱️How long did it take you to solve the puzzle? This was one of my fastest (1:35), but I average around 3 mins. Once the grid grows to 7x7, however, I take MUUUUCH longer —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #torontopr #torontoblogger #nerdlife #kenken #brainteaser #math #puzzle #holiday #winterbreak #boredombuster
  • Happy NYE, folks! For those who had a great 2022, cheers a fab end to a fab year. To those for whom 2022 was not so great - toast to a new beginning! Either way, hopefully you’re able to find a moment for gratitude and comfort tonight. ✨❤️ Wearing: @ardellbeauty Magnetic Megahold lashes* @cheekbonebeauty Sustain complexion pencils* 1, 2, and 6 + Sustain eye pencil in green turquoise @lorealparis Brow Stylist Frame & Set in 214 @cbvisage lipliner in Rescue Me *Products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #ardellholiday #cheekbonebeauty #crueltyfreemakeup #carylbakervisage #redhead #torontopr #torontomakeup #nyemakeup #holidaymakeup #simpleglam #tbrcontributors #bye2022
