Oh my, I am smiling from ear to ear because fall is here! It’s nippy outside with a chill in the air. I am ready to break out my boots, jackets, sweaters and tights.  Hold up now, I have to do this in stages because I still do not know how the weather is going to be. But I am really enjoying this so much.

Well let us get to the Dress Series, featuring fall leaves.  It is that time of the year where you want to dress in layers. It may be cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon and cool at night.  The past few days have been chilly all day. I had to break out the leather jacket. When the weather is all over the place, how do you still wear those dresses. Dress in layers!!

The dress I have on below is a summer dress; but the colors scream vibrancy for fall. I paired a black tailored jacket, tights, and my Dooney and Bourke Florentine Vacheeta Leather handbag. I am ready for work or church.


The black jacket is from B Moss that I  bought at least four years ago. I really like the sleek lines and how it cinches in the waist. It is very slimming. I also paired it with black tights to complete the look for fall.

If it happens to be a little warm, I can take off my jacket and be perfectly comfortable, yet still professional. Do you see how the black tree branch curves on the dress and gives the focal point of elongation.

During the transition from summer to fall and winter, try adding a blazer and some tights.
