Maybe it's just because this summer has been ridicously hot but I have fall on the brain. I want to wear jeans without my shins sweating. I want to wear sweaters. I want to be able to wear socks to bed. Alas, it looks like this weather may be sticking around much longer than I'd like. I'm also totally in love with dresses right now. I don't wear dresses often so my sudden love for them is a bit odd. To combine my desire for fall fashion and dresses, here are some dresses than can be worn through Thanksgiving:
From left to right:
Gap Braided Print Dress: I used to consider ikat a summer only print, but with the right coloring I believe it can last through the seasons. The berry tones in this dress will make it perfect for autumn.
Ann Taylor City Sheath: The color is perfect for any time of the year, and this dress can be dressed up or down easily. Yellow and gray are popular for this fall, but red, brown, plum, green, or just about any other color can be paired with this sheath. Just keep black to a minimum to avoid looking like a bumble bee. I think the model has just the right amount of black accessories.
Old Navy Cap Sleeve Jersey Dress: Any easy-to-wear dress in easy-to-wear colors. I'd add a chunky navy cardigan or blazer and pair with the loafers that are huge for fall for an easy preppy look.
Anthropologie Bottle Green Dotted Party Dress: The forest green spots on an cream background make this perfect for fall, and the flat bow with the yellow accents really make this incredible for fall festivites. When I first looked at the bow on this dress online, I was afraid of it being too 80's-prom-dress-ass-bow-y, but it lies completely flat, and again, the yellow accents really do keep the dress from belonging in a 1987 high school yearbook.
Lilly Pulitzer Kinley Dress: This is a sweater dress, but the loose knit makes it great for those summer nights that get chilly. The navy and berry colors keep it great for both summer and fall.
