After completing my first Petite Fashion Challengeย I was excited to hear about Petite Fashion Challenge #2ย ย hosted by Alterations Needed.
But then I kind of started panicking because September was filled with personal highs (friend’s wedding!) and personal lows (2 funerals ๐ย )ย and the rest of what makes life so hectic all in between.ย I had pictured in my mind to turn a Summer Dress into an appropriate Fall outfit which seemed easy in theory but turned out to be quite a challenge!
Here is the dress I picked:
This is a dress I ususally only wear on vacation because it’s quite low cut.ย Sometimes I would wear this over my bikini if we were walking around town.
So here is how I changed it to wear for Fall/Winter:
I didn’t want to just throw a cardigan over it and say “yay this is Fall” I wanted to really show the layering.ย I put the turtle neck underneath for a bit more modesty and to make this work friendly but buttoned the 3rd button of the cardigan up so the neckline of the dress wouldn’t really show.ย I also liked putting on textured tights with this.ย I thought it was interesting with the pattern of the dress.
So…how’d I do on my 2nd challenge?ย I think this one was even more challenging than the first LOL!ย But I’m so glad I did it, I would’ve never thought to wear this dress to work since it was so summery and revealing but now I can, YAY!
