Here’s Your Pre-Fall Dress Edit!

Dresses are definitely a wardrobe staple, and many of us have upcoming events to look forward to in the coming months. I don’t know about you, but when I’m not looking for a dress I find one, and when I need one, I can’t find one!! Sound familiar? Take my advice, and when you find a dress you love, grab it 😉

* I’m often asked what to wear to wear to various types of celebrations, and my answer is always the same: a dress! *

Today’s post is a major pre-fall dress edit, and I’m sharing with you the best dresses you could wear for every occasion. Since I have a handful of events coming up, I’ve been doing a lot of dress research in order to help you narrow down your choices. Below you’ll find everything from a cozy sweater dress to a pretty red dress to a classic LBD … and more! I hope this post is helpful and gets you inspired for fall. Have fun at all your events!

P.S. If you’re new around here and want to stay up to date on all things stylish and the bound-to-sell-out items we ALL need, then subscribe here and never miss a post! You can check out my Instagram Reels videos here.

 

Three dresses everyone should own

A little black dress – My faves include this best-selling ALC Renzo, this strapless, easy-to-pack Norma Kamali, and a versatile, always-chic slipdress like this Vince one.

An easy everyday dress – These are dresses you can wear to daytime events. Try a classic shirt dress like this Veronica Beard style, a striped one like this one, or this affordable one. And, of course, a white dress is always an easy go-to (love this Milly one).

Casual dresses – Easy, throw-on dresses are perfect late summer or early fall days. This Frank & Eileen one is really good, and I just spotted this new Madewell shirt dress –  both are stylish and cute.

Sweater dresses are the perfect style to own this time of year, and the one I’m wearing just came back in stock. But don’t wait, last year it sold out quickly!

The dress that works for every occasion

 

Left: ALC Renzo dress | Cult Gaia silver bag | Right: Vince cardigan | ALC Renzo | Larroude sandals | Khaite clutch | Ring

I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but this ALC dress works for so many events! Last summer, my sister-in-law wore it for in her son’s wedding, and awhile back, I wore the black one to a cocktail event. This is one of those dresses that works for different types of events. Recently I was chatting with Nordstrom6 friends, and we talked about how versatile this dress is. In fact, pretty much everyone who tries it on ends up going home with it. Trust me on this one, it’s a great choice. What to wear under? The Red Carpet Strapless Bra, or this new one, and these Spanx lace panties.
