I didn't start out this collaboration intending to have a theme for the week, but here we are and I am seeing the pattern. All of my Dolly & Dotty dresses from this collaboration are things I chose because they are perfect for summer and the seasons ahead. Maximum wearability is what I am all about.
Houndstooth is an all-year-round kind of print, but this black and white dress in particular makes me think of fall and winter. For autumn, I'll wear orange and rust colors with it, and for winter I'll switch to reds and greens. It's the perfect base!
Maybe I'm jumping the gun a little, but it's the last day of August and that means that Autumn and Halloween are on the horizon. And, while I do have a few holiday specific pieces, what I really love to do is bring out all my fall colors in September and wear them all season long. And, that includes things that don't just fall into the orange/red/yellow palette, such as this Lily Houndstooth print dress from Dolly & Dotty.
You may not be in a fall frame of mind just yet, (I always look forward to the autum colors, but personally, I won't mind if the summer weather lingers for a few more weeks) which is why pieces like this are so great, they make that seasonal transition right along with you, whenever you're ready.
I added a black petticoat underneath for a little more fullness to the skirt, but again, with this color palette, you could add any petticoat to match your 'fit and have it coordinate beautifully. You really can't go wrong anytime of year with a Dolly & Dotty Dress.
