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.

  • Lately, I’ve been feeling a more subtle look. ☁️ Swapping out the black winged liner for a smidge of grey; trading in the full-coverage base for something a little softer.

  • Nail extensions that last weeks but don’t damage your natural nails?!?! Check out the process for getting Après-X nail extensions! There aren’t many salons in Toronto that offer this service, but so far, I’m a fan! I love bio-gel, but I have the WEAKEST nails, so after I get the extensions removed, my nails shred and take forever to grow back out. I heard about this soak-off style, and couldn’t wait to check it out for myself! I haven’t gotten them removed yet, but I’ll update you all when I do! ✅ durable like bio-gel ✅ light and thin ✅✅✅
  • In case you haven’t heard (lol), it’s the @sephoracanada sale!
