One minute we're basking in the sun, feeling happy and relaxed, and then it hits us: the Summer won't last forever. Soon we'll be packing away our shorts shorts and sandals, shrugging on jackets, and — eek! — pulling on those trusty black tights (or, y'know, freezing our legs off). But if you can't imagine parting with your favorite sundress, there's a Fall solution that won't make you choose between sheer or opaque. It's called rocking a dress over pants.

It's pretty easy to picture this outfit looking lazy, disheveled, or overall unflattering, but it's time to rid your mind of those bad thoughts. Take a look at some bloggers who got this layered trend so right. Then shop some pieces to try it yourself.
