Although we are heading into autumn, the sun is still shining, which means that you don't have to put away your best summer dresses just yet, especially when you style them appropriately.
Reese Witherspoon's latest look is the ultimate example of transitional dressing, showing that even the most summery pieces in your wardrobe can work well into September. She was spotted in a pretty white lace maxi dress with sturdy cowboy boots, showing us one of the best blueprints for late summer, early autumn dressing, and it's so easy to recreate.
Boots and a dress make the kind of outfit that makes sense for awkward late-summer weather. Her pretty lace dress is from LoveShackFancy and falls into a maxi silhouette, and the more structured footwear gives it an autumn-ready feeling. She adds a classic raffia tote, dangling earrings, and sunglasses, too.
