Often times, I have a hard time dishing out the money to buy a whole new wardrobe for different seasons. I like to try and make different pieces work for different seasons by accessorizing them differently.

Today, I will be breaking down how to transition this dress from summer to fall.

Dress: AX Pairs Cat Print Skate Dress (31$ republic.co.uk)

This patterned dress can be put together for more fancy occasions but is lightweight and flawy enough to be dressed down also. The cat print is fun and bold which means the accessorizing needs to be a bit toned down.

For summertime, I would pair this dress with a beautiful pair of sandals in a fun colour, such as this mint coloured pair from ASOS (39$). I would add a bright bag in the same family colour as the sandals, such as this one from Nasty Gal (37$). For a sunny day, I would add a fedora. The one pictured above is from Wet Seal (10$). I would also add a nice pair of sunglasses of your choice.

To transition this dress into the fall, I would switch the sandals for this nice pair of boots from Kohls (35$) to spice it up a little. Boots are such a trend this year and this pair is sort of a mix between the motorcycle boots and the western boots. Seeing as this season can be quite chilly, I would recommend this type of jacket. It is a shorter jacket, so it would not overwhelm the dress. This jacket retails for 40$ (udobuy.com).

Trade in the mint bag for a brown leather bag. Throw it over your shoulder and look super cute and only for 38$ (debenhams.com).
