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.)
