Skirting around fall in a denim dress.
I love a good denim dress. It’s so reminiscent of kindergarten for me, when I would turn up most days to school in an Osh Kosh denim jumper of some sort. Even though this Boohoo number is far edgier than anything I wore as a 5-year old, there’s still that back-to-school vibe, with a boho twist.
And while fall is lingering on the horizon with crisp mornings and evenings, midday is still in summer mode. (Even in early October!) Bare legs and a peep toe balance out the darker denim, while a nude ankle bootie is a very fall choice and goes well with the dress.
I played up the boho by adding a wide-brim hat. My exact one is sold out, but you can score similar versions here and here. Now that we’ve cooled off in KC a bit, adding a hat doesn’t seem quite as oppressive. Altogether, this look is very Pop-Folk Singer Debut Album Cover, am I right?
Shop the look:
I’m doing my best to savor this time of year, while summer and fall are fighting it out. I know I’ll miss 80-degree days come February, and there’s something to be said about not always looking far ahead, so as you miss what’s happening in the now. Not pictured: the fall mums stacked in the corner of my patio, waiting for the arrival of the inevitable pumpkin or two. 😉

So cute! I have seen the hats around… Going to have to try it but not sure if I can pull it off in my little town, lol!

I totally feel the same way sometimes- I think you should try it! 🙂
Love the throwback mention of Osh Kosh, we were twinning back in our Kindergarten days! This dress is fab on you, and especially loving those peep toe ankle booties <3

Yessss Osh Kosh twins! 🙂
This is definitely not your Osh Gosh denim jumper! I adore this dress! Love the raw hem!

I thought the raw hem was cool, too- I like that’s not TOO distressed, so you can still wear it at less-casual events.
Red toes peeping out of cute booties — does it get more adorable? No, it doesn’t. You’re my fashion icon.
I love a red pedicure! And thank you so much! 🙂
I’m with you Ashely….enjoy what we have as we have it. What a great outfit.
XOXO

The pockets are so great- as bloggers, we know anything with pockets makes a piece perfect! 🙂
This dress looks so lovely!
Thank you so much!
This is such a fun fall look – I feel like open toed booties are the perfect shoe choice for that transitional period between seasons.

I agree! And because the boot shaft is a bit taller, it definitely feels more like a fall bootie!
That is the cutest denim dress, and I love the pocket imprint.

I liked that detail, too- all the aesthetic of a pocket without any bulk!
Omg I totally wore those Osh Kosh denim jumpers too! I felt soo cool in them. Love that you are bringing it back but in a more adult/chic way!

Thank you, Margot! I love that it’s so simple to put together, too. 🙂
There is nothing I love more than a great denim dress – this is perfect! Love the booties too! Happy October love!
Oh gosh not me I won’t miss heat and humidity. I was in Paris and they have an actual fall there it is great. This dress is so fun and yes perfect for the in-between time of year when it is still hot. And it looks great with the peep toe shoes and hat!
