Styling a Floral Maxi Dress for Fall
Styling a floral maxi dress for fall is much easier than it sounds. Actually, styling any dress for cooler weather is possible. The key is adding layers. Whether it be a cardigan and tights or jean jacket and scarf, it all comes down to layers!
And I know, I know, it’s not fall in Argentina, but just let me pretend. Haha. It kills me that there aren’t any changing leaves or pumpkins in October! But we did have a couple of cool days where I was able to at least wear some layers. This floral maxi dress has been at the top of my list of “things I want to restyle for cooler temps.” I had featured it a few months back as a summer dress, and I’ve wanted to try it with layers ever since!
My first thought was to pair it with my jean jacket and a pair of boots. My husband and I were going to check out a new bar in Rosario that had a very hipster-ish vibe to it. And for some reason, a jean jacket just felt right for the occasion, haha. But I also want to try styling it with a couple of my cardigans too! I think it would work well. This dress is also only $30, and it now comes in 6 other colors! I’m seriously thinking about ordering it again in another color…
It does have a slit, though, that sometimes makes me nervous when the wind blows just right. However, out of all the times I’ve worn this dress in windy conditions, I have yet to have an actual wardrobe malfunction. If the temps are cool enough too, throwing a pair of tights on with my boots would solve that problem in a heartbeat!
The video above was my attempt to show what this dress looks like when it’s in motion. When I wear it and am walking I honestly feel like I’m on a runway. It just has such a cool floaty feel to it! I’m not sure if I captured it in the video or not, but I thought it would be worth a shot! (And if anyone has any tips for not looking like a complete and awkward doofus in videos, please let me know in the comments! Haha.)

Thank you! And it seems it’s been an unseasonably warm fall for a lot of people. 🙂 Hope you have a great week too!
me encantan los maxi vestidos, tengo que hacerme con uno para ahora
Si! Tendras que obtener uno. y gracias! 🙂
I love how you can see a bit of leg and your full boot when the wind breezes by. Such a perfect restyle of a summery dress! It has been surprisingly warm here in MA…most days in the past month have been 70s and 80s! (Though today it did dip towards the high 60s). When it gets cold, I usually just add a cardi and tights to my summer dresses.
Aw, thank you, Jen! I keep hearing how warm it is back in the US too! 70s and 80s are crazy for this time of year! I love a cardi and tights with my summer dresses too. 🙂
Really beautiful look! I totally love it.
Thank you, Stella!
