BACK TO BOOTIES Take a Summer Dress into Fall

Here in Southern California, we always get an “Indian Summer” in September/October, where warm days extend into autumn. During this time, I like to take my summer pieces and transition them with Fall essentials like an all-time fave of mine, the ankle bootie. Lucky for me, shopping resource site Rank & Style contacted me about putting together a look inspired by their “Top Ten Lists” — best-of-the-best lists that are compiled through reviews, top seller lists and editor’s picks from magazines, stores and bloggers we all know and love. Sweet!

I chose the Jeffrey Cambell “Everly” bootie from their  “The Ten Best Black Ankle Boots for Fall” list, and paired them with a frilly boho dress and my black moto jacket — a no-fail chic look with that tough girl cool I’m so fond of…

GET THE LOOK:
Jeffrey Campbell “Everly” booties / Free People slip dress / black moto jacket (similar) / Rebecca Minkoff studded wallet on a chain / Ray-Ban “bubble wrap” aviator sunglasses / leather beaded bracelet (simliar) / Rebecca Minkoff “Virgo” necklace

Check out Rank & Style and browse their super handy Top Ten Lists for tons more options!
“The Ten Best Black Ankle Boots”
“The Ten Best Leather Jackets”
“The Ten Best White Dresses”
“The Ten Best Winter Clutches”
“The Ten Best Wrap Bracelets”

And take cues from these tastemakers who are also sharing their own Rank & Style picks:

Sally & Molly of A Piece of Toast
Victoria of vmac+cheese
Jen of Peanut Butter Runner
Tina of Carrots n’ Cake
The Girls of Lincoln Park

    Love the JC shoes – I really want to get them! I’ve got this dress and it’s so versatile. Love it in the Summer, but it looks great with an oversize sweater and tights in the Winter.

    I just bought that dress! It is so comfy and easy to dress up or dress down. Wish I could look as cute as you do in it! But I would have to go back in time about 25 years lol
