Moto Jacket with Summer Dress
A couple weeks ago while browsing at Target (always a bad idea for one’s wallet), I saw this dress on the clearance rack. The color really appealed to me and when I saw the size XS, I decided to take it home and try it. I know that I can usually fit in an XS in the Knox Rose brand and I knew that I could make it work year round. I was pleased to find that it fit!
It was a windy day after church and we decided to stop in the parking lot of the French bakery (Douceur de France) to take some pictures. The dress has pretty tassels at the waist and a high low hemline. The floral pattern is really pretty.
I paired it with my booties and my moto jacket. I really never can describe the color of this jacket: it is not blush not beige but a color in between. Whatever the color, it pairs well with the dress and kept me warm!
The sleeves are a little long on the jacket but otherwise it fits really well so I overlook that detail. It is from JCPenney (ana brand) and several years old. A moto or leather jacket is a fun way to winterize a summer dress when you do not want to wear a denim jacket. It is also warmer.
This outfit got instant complements from my husband! I have been wearing my Anjolee earrings (they are a small hoop) non stop since I received them in my giveway basket from Kathrine Eldridge Glamorous Christmas in October giveaway.
I have been enjoying wearing something pretty, dainty and sparkly! Thanks again Kathrine for hosting the giveaway! I am also using the facial products that came in the basket.
The wind was ridiculous on this Sunday. But it sure was a pretty day! We have been enjoying lazy Sundays after church. I try not to do any chores but I did have a bootload of dishes to do.
I am glad I found a way to wear this dress in the fall. While I do tend to wear more muted or neutral colors in the fall, it sure is fun to wear a bright color on a sunny day.
A bientôt!

So glad this dress ended up working- it’s gorgeous on you! Love that pretty blue floral. Also dig it with the jacket and booties to make it feel just a bit more seasonal!

Exactly! The color is too pretty to just keep it for summer and spring! Next I will add a sweater and boots!

Your new jacket looks lovely over your pretty Summer dress. I would say the colour is stone and a neutral . The mural on the wall is wonderful and makes a great backdrop.

Thanks, Jill! I never know what to describe the color and I think that is a good name for it.

The dress looks great and the jacket fits perfectly to it. Love your outfit. I also like a lot the backdrop, the painted wall behind you. Was wondering if the cake ́s and pie ́s are as great as the parking lot (smile). Glad you had a nice Sunday.
With love, Claudia

What a cute floral dress! I think the taupe leather jacket is a nice compliment with the colour – it will go with everything! 🙂 And dresses and leather jackets are such a good combination. This looks so lovely on you 🙂
Thanks so much for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup! Hope that you had a great weekend 🙂

I have had that moto jacket for so many years and it still looks brand new because I do not wear it much: going to try to wear it more this year.

Mireille, this dress is so pretty and you have styled it perfectly for fall. I love maxi dresses with moto jackets and booties. So cute! The color of jacket is super unique, but so versatile, too. I love it! Thanks for linking with me.
