Omaha cannot make up its mind with the weather right now. One day it’s in the 90’s, and the next it’s in the 70’s. This time of year, it’s great to have some key pieces that you can transition between summer and fall. Dresses work great because of how easy they are to layer and accessorize. Today I thought it would be fun to share my favorite picks for the perfect summer to fall dresses for your closet.
Summer to Fall Dresses: The Perfect Transition Piece
Pin me!
1. Petra Floral Pleated-Shoulder Shift Dress
This floral shift dress strikes the perfect balance between summer and fall. In the summer it looks great with a pair of pair of strappy heels and statement earrings. In the fall, this dress is made to be paired with a pair of chunky booties and a denim jacket.
2. Chambray Shirtdress
Who doesn’t love a chambray shirtdress? In the summer, less is more. Pair it with a pair of statement flip flops and a poppy lipgloss. For fall, rock this dress with a killer pair of riding boots and a chunky cardigan.
3. Daphne Waffle Dress
I love a waffle knit. In the summer you can cuff the sleeves on this waffle knit dress to your elbows and add a pair of open-toed booties. For fall, keep the booties and add a cute moto jacket.
4. Smocked Neck Dress
Wear this smocked neck dress off-the-shoulder in the summer, with your favorite cutout sandals. For fall, pull back up the sleeves, add a military jacket, and a pair of brown wedge booties.
5. Ruffle Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
This ruffle sleeve t-shirt dress is the epitome of comfort in both the summer and fall. In the summer, pair the dress with an open loafer. In the fall, add some faux leather leggings and a cool pair of kicks.

My favorite is the chambray shirt dress. My daughter has something similar and she pairs it with leggings underneath in colder weather.

I have a sunflower dress that I’m sure could transition to fall. I’m thinking of wearing it with a long cardigan like you suggested.

The chambray is my pick. Love the knee length and it would pair with boots very well, too. In my closet, it seems like most dresses are clearly summer or winter, but I think a good shirtwaist is a possible layering garment that could take a tank or tee underneath for warmth on chilly days. Great inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
