29 Sep Turning Heads Linkup – Spring Mini Dress Styled for Fall
One combination I am fond of for Fall is the mini dress with OTK tall boots. This sillouette works for me and provides the look with a little bit of leg but a long look due to the Tall boots. It’s FUN!
My Outfit
Not quite tight weather here in NC, but light sweater weather, you can choose a long length cardigan ( you will see this one many times) for that added layer or additional punch of color. I like this one as it has pockets as well. This chiffon mini dress was worn last Spring, but the colors still lend itself to Fall. Try looking at some of your Spring dresses to see what can be converted to Fall.
As the weather gets chillier, I can again play with proportions and length with a moto jacket over top of the dress, or a chunky sweater over top of the dress, making it look like a sweater/skirt combo.
You all know how I love dresses, but if you are looking for a put together jeans ensemble, check out yesterday’s post HERE. I will be styling more denim looks as the weather gets colder.
This dress is not available on the Mango site anymore, but I found a similar tiered dress HERE and HERE.
The chiffon material makes it light and breezy, and easy to transition to another season.
The suede OTK boots are a fun change from booties and again, create long look.
What’s Happening
Friends, I have been back to see the surgeon and I am getting my gallbladder surgery this Thursday, Oct 1st. I am a little nervous, but it is bright and early and I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. At least I may be the first one. So, I may be taking next week off from the blog to recouperate. I was told to refrain from wine for a week before surgery, and have clear liquids the day after. Does Vodka count? LOL ( kidding, kidding!)
On another note, I got my hair done about a week ago at the house, where my stylist friend does mine, moms and my hubby’s hair in one day. I love that it is so rich and a bit darker and I have it cut as well. I have some great hair products I have been gifted that you will hear about on the blog. I am also thrilled with the Olaplex treatments I have been doing once a week. So, yay for good hair days!
Outfit
Dress-Mango( last yr) see post for similar linked dresses. ( rust sim style dress )
Boots- Sole Society ( option 1 flat style, )
Bag- Louis Vuitton Speedy 30
Cardigan – Target ( option 1 sim, option 2 sim,)
Have a great day!
Stay Safe,

Posted at 15:12h, 11 OctoberMy goodness, you are such a lady!! You look so feminine and put together and polished. Everything you wear just looks so lady-like and truly pretty. Love the print on this dress. I have that cardigan and have worn the tail off it already. Hoping it soon cools off enough that I can wear boots.

Posted at 16:59h, 29 SeptemberOh my goodness so many things to address here. First and foremost I will be keeping you in my prayers on Oct. 1st. I’m hoping for a speedy recovery. Next this mango dress looks fabulous on you with those tall boots. a styled perfectly for fall. Then lastly, Ive always wanted to give oleplex a try. Thank you for the recommendation. I use avocado oil right now. Its less expensive but seems to help.
Take Care My Friend,

Posted at 14:00h, 29 SeptemberI love, love, love that dress, Jess! The style is very cute, but for me the draw is the beautiful fabric. And you’ve styled it beautifully. Is your surgery being done as an outpatient? And of course vodka counts! LOL! 🤣

Posted at 11:12h, 29 SeptemberI have been seeing OTK boots all over the place now, and have been thinking about getting myself a pair. Even though I live in Florida and it’s hot all the time, most days you will find me in jeans, so I am not too worried about it being too warm. Will just have to change things up by wearing some skirts and dresses.
Fingers crossed for a smooth surgery and quick recovery!

Posted at 10:13h, 29 SeptemberThis is such a cute look!! I really love your tall boots and the shade of them. I don’t have any tall boots anymore (my old ones had to be retired) so I definitely need to find a new pair. And your hair always looks so good! So much volume and the color is gorgeous. Good luck with your surgery this Thursday… I hope it goes well and that you have a speedy recovery. <3

Posted at 06:48h, 29 SeptemberWhat a cute dress! You have me jealous as I have a very similar dress and I’ve never tried it with my tall boots – but it’s too warm for that now! maybe when autumn rolls around again, thanks for the idea! 🙂
Good luck with the surgery – hope you have a speedy recovery after it!
