Best Little Transitional Dress for Now and Into Fall

It’s been a little while since I’ve been this excited about a new dress (and admittedly, I rarely even wear dresses these days), but y’all, this one is so good.  I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it if I saw it online first, but last week I swung by Pacific City for a little lunch takeout from Lemonade (#TreatYoself) and decided to pop into Free People while waiting for my food.

While I definitely haven’t been on the hunt for much “normal” clothes lately (you’ll notice my Nordstrom sale faves are pretty heavy on the PJ’s and loungewear), I just couldn’t resist this little cargo-pocketed dress.  It’s so cute with sandals or wedges, and I’ll probably be pairing it with sneakers (see below) for a little “parking lot dining” with a friend later this week.  (Orange County still isn’t allowing indoor seating at restaurants, so most places have moved all of their tables out into the parking lots and sidewalks so that they can remain open.  And honestly, while I haven’t been out to eat much lately, the parking lot dining sitch with our current perfect weather has been really nice.)

And while I hate to even mention fall fashion at the beginning of August in Southern California, I just think this dress will be so cute paired with suede booties in the fall.  After all, if I’m gonna buy a piece of “normal clothing” right now, it better last a few seasons, right?
