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.
- xhilaration/Target dress (past season)
- Coach Legacy Leather Molly Satchel
- Michael Michael Kors wedges
- bracelets top to bottom: AMY O., Ippolita, vintage
- rings: Ippolita (right hand) and Modern Design (c/o)
- photos: I Have A Degree In This!
You know how much I love black rhodium plating on my jewelry, so this tungsten band gifted to me by Modern Design is a total dream. It fits into my ring collection perfectly. I’ve been wearing much of my silver jewelry again lately… must be fall! I tend to wear gold in the summer, less so during other seasons.

It looks so much warmer there than here. We already got snow, I’m not ready for winter yet :/
Alexandra Shook says
I love snow! But I’m definitely not ready for it yet either.

I need your help for dressing for this odd weather. It’s too hot for my fall clothes but I don’t want to wear summery things. Gah!
Thanks for the photo cred… hopefully I did the outfit some justice :)

I love deep red and black for fall. You’re right that the temperature keeps swinging back and forth, but I’m going to try and the enjoy the ‘not-freezing’ days for as long as I can!
Alexandra Shook says
It better not freeze until December. I’m determined to have another no tights until December year.

Alex,
I LOVE this dress, especially the sleeves! You’ve also reminded me to open up my jewelry collection and start using them more. AND getting other metals in my collection!
Alexandra Shook says
These sleeves are really fun :)
I bet you have so much awesome jewelry– pile it on!

Thats pretty much always the weather during the fall – hot days with cold nights. I always think it’s pretty funny to see people like you and I in our summer dresses at the same time as someone in jeans, boots, and a sweater. I wonder how they aren’t dying of the heat, but some people just REALLY love fall fashion.
Alexandra Shook says
No tights until December! I think I’m going to do that every year. Maybe we should make it a thing and invite other people to join!

What a fun floral dress for fall
