Summer is one of my favorite seasons because I wear a lot of dresses, and we all know how much I love a great dress. Well, the cooler temperatures should not scare you into packing all of the dresses away. I'm going to teach you three simple steps into making a summer dress work in the early fall months.

Step One: Throw on a jacket over the dress. Whether it's a trendy bomber or a motto leather jacket, this simple step is an instant game changer. Since this is a midi length dress, I recommend a jacket that hits above/ at the hip or a longer length ending at the knee. 

Step Two: Swap out sandals for booties. Either printed brocade pair or the classic black will look great with a dress. 

Step Three: Darken up your makeup through the lip color. A deep wine shade is the perfect finishing touch. It will help bring out colors in the dress and made the whole look more moody.
