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.
