Hi there! Today it’s Tie It Together Thursday and I’m styling a dress for Susan. She has a blog called Charming Lucy and shares a lot of fashion & beauty posts, she’s super sweet. The dress she asked me to style is by a company called hazel and she received it in her Stitch Fix box.
I love this dress and I decided to style it two different ways since we’re at the end of summer and heading into fall.
First, let me say that I think shoes can make or break an outfit. You can have an adorable dress like this one and wear the wrong shoe and it’s going to hurt the overall look.
I know everyone can’t wear every style of shoe. But, if you have to have a really comfortable shoe because of feet issues try to look for styles that don’t age you.
There’s a website I found called BarkingDogShoes–fashionable finds for fussy feet. I would check her website out if you have fussy feet.
Now on to our hazel flower print dress. This dress is very busy so I wouldn’t add a necklace but I would pop a lot of gold and I’d start with the sandals.
I have a similar pair of these and I love them. They would look fabulous with this dress! I found them on Zappos.com.
Here’s how I styled the dress for a end of the summer look. I would add large earrings and stack some bracelets. Actually, the more bracelets the merrier and of course if you have a watch, add that too.
The earring and colorful bracelet are from Francescas.com and the gold chain bracelet can be found at Brinkle.com.
The next way I styled the dress is for fall. I think this style would be perfect with a bootie and I love these from Banana Republic. You can wear them alone or add some black pantyhose.
Here’s the fall look and I kept the jewelry the same.
I know some of you are not crazy about the booties but I’m liking them. This is a copy from the Banana Republic website. They’re really popular and I want to wear some this fall/winter.
Okay, let me know what you think! I love to get your feedback! Will you be wearing booties this fall/winter?

Have a blessed day!
I wasn’t sure about booties or what to wear with them, last fall, but I have a new outlook on them this yr. I’m a late bloomer. I need to be sure of myself and the fashion world before I go for it. Lol
Oh Cyndi! Thank you so much! I love everything about it!! I actually ordered a pair of black booties today and I am so excited to wear this dress now! I knew that you would style it perfectly for me! Thank you! I got my September Stitch Fix yesterday and I kept the most fabulous flowered blouse that I have no idea how to style! If you need another item to style, please let me know! Blessings for a wonderful weekend! Susan
Great ideas. Lovelovelove the boots. I have succumbed to a few over the last 2 years and look forward to getting into them again for fall.
Love your Thursday blogs! I love that red bag too!
I love the booties, although I think the black ones need the darker hose. The dress is so pretty and the gold makes such a nice pairing. Gee, I’m really out of it..I never knew gold jewelry was passe! I love gold, but so expensive…At least I just had my teeth cleaned.
I love the fall version Cyndi! I’ll bet that outfit would look beautiful on you. :).
I wear a lot of shoes I should’ve, but I love shoes/boots! My bunions get angry at me. :(. I’ve had them since my teens. Thinking about the surgery, but the down time is 6 weeks. Not possible.
Beautiful dress and booties. I also love the purse in the BR add. 🙂
You have beautiful, white teeth and look great in gold jewelry. For those of us with not so white teeth, the reflection of gold jewelry makes the teeth look yellow. I have a lot of gold, but wear more of the white metal now.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m loving them, too, Cyndi — great minds! Love your jewelry choices, too. 🙂

No booties for me. They look cute on some – they are cute & trendy but not for me. That’s a cute dress – I love the gold jewelry.
Love the dress styled for fall with the Booties! I will add them to my list for additions to the fall wardrobe. 🙂
I love the ankle boots version and that dress is fun! Love this new feature of your blog. I discovered booties last fall and now own five pairs , so a big yes to me wearing them again!
Wow! What a powerful quote by Max Lacado! Knowing God’s comfort even today as our sweethearts r off to school… It is harder than I ever imagined ;( I love the ankle boots and looking forward to wearing mine!
Cute dress!! Would love to see these on you to get a better idea 🙂
Xoxo

I have seen more gold jewelry for the fall. I am guessing that Gold is going to come back in style. Wondering if silver is on its way out or if it will be a mixture of both.
