Flowers on a Summery Fall Day | Outfits

chiffon floral dress styled for a summery fall day

Dear Nnenna,

It’s officially fall, although lately the weather seems to be swinging back and forth between summer and freezing. I actually love fall clothing, so even when it’s a warm fall I try to incorporate elements of dressing for the change of season. This dress is done in deep red and black, but it’s an airy chiffon that still keeps me cooler on hot days.

Sun Showers | Alexander Wang & Cole Haan


Dear Katha,

I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but the weather’s doing something crazy in these photos. They’re actually from before Memorial Day when it was constantly storming and I thought mid-Atlantic was about to become the tropics.
