This striped, summery dress was one of my J.Crew Warehouse finds, and I was determined to get some wear out of it now even though it’s not really “in season.”
I added my warmest, fleece-lined tights (thanks, Urban Outfitters) and layered on a blazer.
Accessories-wise I made sure to select bolder, chunky pieces to add a heaviness to the look overall.
Dress: J.Crew Stripe Derby Dress (similar), Blazer: Kenneth Cole Reaction (similar, worn here and here), Shoes: Madewell (similar, worn here), Tights: Urban Outfitters fleece-lined tight, Belt: H&M (similar), Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Necklace: Stella & Dot, Earrings: J.Crew Factory Fireball Studs, Glasses: Firmoo
I can’t wait to winterize this dress for the weekend as well. I’m envisioning wearing boots, layering with a knit sweater, and bundling up with a chunky scarf.
Have you gotten any wear out of your summer clothes this winter?
Love that dress and how you made it perfect for this time of year! xo, Julie

Love the shoes! I’ve been wearing some of my summer dress staples a similar way…either paired with a blazer and thick tights, or a chunky knit sweater thrown over with a pair of boots for a more bohemian look!
I pretty much do the same thing with my summer dresses, it’s so nice getting more use out of them!
I love how you made this summer dress work for winter – honestly I would never have even known it was a summer dress! So cute with the yellow shoes.

I like to winterize my summer dresses too. It just seems like such a shame to spend money on something and leave it tucked away for half the year.
