wear now, wear later dresses

Confession: I have a really hard time starting to buy all the new cute fall clothes that are coming out when it's 100+ degrees here still in Dallas. Maybe that makes me a procrastinator or not a planner, but I'm not going to buy a faux fur vest in July when I won't be able to wear that until October.BUT at the same time...it's probably not a smart idea to be buying 100 white dresses right now when I won't be able to wear them for too much longer (this year). That's why I felt like this cold-shoulder dress from No Rest for Bridget was such a smart purchase.

I wore this dress last weekend in the heat of July, but also can't wait to wear it once temps cool off with a suede bootie! When I know I'll get a ton of use out of it (plus it's less than $40)...hard to say no to that.

A few other cold-shoulder dresses I'm loving from NRFB:

Choctaw tank + boyfriends

Technically speaking, end of September should equal cool weather coupled with sweaters, scarves & riding boots. For us Texans though, we've got a few more weeks of higher temps till we're pulling out our parkas. Knit dressing is a huge trend for this Fall, which is one reason I'm crazy about this aztec print tank. Pair it with boyfriend jeans or a maxi skirt, throw a denim shirt over it, and you've got a great summer to fall look. Choctaw tank - Milk & Honey Boutique. J. Crew boyfriend jean.
