Styling The Spicy Tomato Show Me Your Mumu Maxi Dress for Early Fall

Even as we head deeper into Fall, I love to hold onto color in my wardrobe – and some fun prints that relate to harvest Season. I really view September as an extension of Summer – so wearing something light-weight and bright feels natural – whereas October to me feels like true Fall, which is when I start to turn my closet over.

For today’s outfit, I chose to style a fun dress by Show Me Your Mumu – in a print called “spicy tomato” – which is right at the intersection of Summer and Fall.

Here are the exact ingredients to this outfit formula, and how I styled it:

1. The Midi Dress. I’ve talked about this brand “Show Me Your Mumu” in one of my recent posts, and showed a look I styled with this Range Romper. What really drew me into the brand in the first place though was this “spicy tomato” print – and the Linds Midi Dress showed it off perfectly (sold out in this print sadly, but see a few available prints below). The dress itself has a great midi length, and combines puff sleeves and tight bodice with a straight skirt and flirty ruffle on the bottom. It fits really well – and is very comfortable, making it perfect for an afternoon picnic, a date at the park, or a Summer-into-Fall wedding guest look. Even though the Linds Dress sold out in this print, I still found a few other pieces in it – like this Ella Top and the Angel Mini Dress – both adorable options!
   
2. Structured Colorful Bag. Another look I styled with this Coach Leather Tabby 20 Top Handle Bag (see the first one HERE). I think it’s elegant and classic, and will go equally well with a pair of jeans, simple tee or blouse, and a blazer or leather jacket. It can also transition into Fall as your “pop of color” for more neutral looks.
   
3. Rose Colored Sandals. These Coclico Crown Sandals are still my favorite pair from this Summer, and pairs perfectly with this look to continue the pink color – which is a concept called “column of color” in styling – allowing your look to come across as cohesive and purposeful.
   

I hope this inspires you to try out a similar outfit this Summer and into Fall!
