Styling One Dress 6 Ways For Fall
It had been a while since I wrote one of these posts showing you how to wear one item several ways. I really had fun this go around with this thrifted Banana Republic dress! Styling this dress 6 ways for fall was a fun exercise! I wasn’t sure it would fit me when I tried it on but like Jodie says, when thrifted do not pay attention to size and just try it on! I am glad I did as I love the print and color and how versatile this dress will be pretty much year round.
Short Blazer for Warmer Weather
This is how I wore it to church in August but I wore my grey Blowfish sandals instead for these tan booties. I like how the tan blazer is reflected in the shoes and how the earrings are a close match to the colors in the dress. The dress is sleeveless.
Colorful Denim Jacket
This might be my favorite way: I just love my yellow jacket and cannot wait to wear it again! Yes, there is no yellow in the print of the dress but yellow/mustard is a neutral in my book!
Denim Jacket and Booties
So many things I am excited to wear this fall! Like these marvelous booties I bought when I met Yenni from IdeasValyen! She has some beautiful unique pieces on her website (I bought a beautiful leather embroidered backpack purse c/o my mom in law for my birthday). Jeans jackets come in all styles and colors and this one was thrifted quite a few years ago.
Styling a dress with olive
Just like mustard, olive goes with everythings! A fun pair of sneakers and a casual jacket complete this look.
Lightweight Ivory Jacket
A similar look with cream! I bought this lightweight jacket during a 40% sale from Purple Ash Boutique. I have it is the medium and will be able to wear sweaters under.
Moto Jacket
Last is a look with my moto jacket and a pair of booties reflecting that color. If you noticed, most of my outfits today were bookended by the same color in the jacket and shoes. You may choose to do that are do contrast those two pieces. It was fun seeing a versatile one dress can be! And before you leave, here is a closer look of my gorgeous embroidered booties!

You look gorgeous in each outfit, Mireille! I love how you bookended the dress with your jacket and shoes. I try to do that sometimes. I think I have those same Blowfish shoes and will show them this week!

Mireille, my favorite is the Jean jacket with those fabulous booties! But I’m also quite partial to the yellow espadrilles and jacket. And honestly, they all look fantastic. What a beautiful dress! Yay for 2nd hand shopping!

Thanks, Kathrine. I really tried to share how endless the possibilities are.

It’s almost like the possibilities are endless, don’t you think?? I really do love them all but the yellow is probably my favorite.
Heck, I even took my own advice at DSW the other day and it’s a good thing. The booties were in a box that said size 6 yet in the 6.5 section, and yet they were really a 7 (which is my size).
Thanks for the shoutout,
XOXO

The matching jacket + shoes is such a great way to have a cohesive outfit even when picking a “random” color like olive or mustard! Those embroidered booties are gorgeous and so wonderful with the dress!
Shauna
I just love all of these creative looks! But I think the denim jacket and booties are my favorite pieces that you paired with the dress. Totally a look I would wear all year long!

Firstly, that dress is the bomb on you! The shape and colors are so good on you. Great looks – and those boots, drool!! Thanks for linking.
mimifce
Thanks, Gail! I really should have taken a picture of the dress by itself.
Mica Away From The Blue
What a great thrift find! It’s such a cute dress on you and it layers so well! I love it with all the neutrals in the first outfit but I think with the yellow jacket is my favourite 🙂
Thank you for joining the Weekday Wear Link Up! Hope you had a lovely weekend 🙂 It’s a 3 day one here which is awesome.
mimifce
I really should have shown it without the layers too. I think the colors will work well in the fall with boots too.
