Now & Later: Floral Dress

Today we're starting a little series called Now & Later where we look at how to make one key item last several seasons. With many people on a tighter shopping budget it's important to make your wardrobe work for you. Late Summer/Pre-Fall is the perfect season to test this method of dressing for Now & Later. July may be warm and sunny but come August, Fall will begin to show it's cooler side!

So here is our first base item - The Floral Dress. A staple for the Summer now easily transitions into a Fall must-have:


Wear it Now:



Wear it Later:


Kimchi Blue Mini Grunge Dress ($58), Anthropologie Half Moon Hobo ($68), Maud Buckle Sandal ($169), Anthropologie Petite Pachyderm Posts ($24), JCrew Sunglasses ($250), AE Jean Jacket ($49.50), Valhalla Brooklyn Lynx Bag ($265), Matiko Oxford Wedge ($168).

Stay tuned for more Now & Later in the next couple weeks!
