Susie’s Favorite Dresses


Left: ALC dress | Sandals | Middle: Alice & Olivia dress | Alaia bag | Right: Tuckernuck dress | Straw clutch
This black ALC dress is an all time favorite, and it’s ideal for many different occasions
White dresses are another favorite, and they work all year long, depending on the fabrication
For a pop of color, try a red dress! This one was even too short for me, so I lengthened it by two inches
Wore this blue printed midi dress by Alice & Olivia dress for a backyard party – it was perfect
Tuckernuck

Tuckernuck is a favorite website, and they really do have some of the best fall dresses available. They just opened a new store this month on the Upper East Side in NYC, and it will be one of my first stops. Here are a few new dresses that caught my eye.
Knit dresses: this one is a perfect everyday dress paired with knee boots – and it’s well-priced at $128
Cocktail dresses: look at this black lace one, this one that’s back in stock, this green one and this one
Daytime dresses: consider this merlot faux leather one and this polo knit dress and this vegan suede one

Got a Fall Wedding Coming Up?
Left: Feather dress | Earrings | Perfume | Clutch | Slingbacks | Right: Cinq a Sept dress | Burgundy clutch | Earrings | Slingbacks
Many of you have fall weddings coming up. Depending on how dressy the event is, this dress with feathers is a fun option. Same with this new one by Cinq a Sept. Here are a few others for you to consider.
Love this one by Simkhai, this new dress from Veronica Beard, and this one I just spotted on Tuckernuck. Cinq a Sept is another great place to look for unique wedding guest dresses like these here, here, and here.
Knits … Always in Style

Left: Veronica Beard dress, similar | Bag | Sandals | Right: Tuckernuck sweater dress | Trench coat | Sandals
Sweater dresses are perfect for daytime events when the weather is a little cooler. Try pairing them with boots, tall or flat, and a longer, looser trench over. Love this Tuckernuck one above, and this Veronica Beard one is a best-seller. See below for a few others you might like!
This one by Simkhai, either of these here and here from Veronica Beard, or this pretty one from Self-Portrait (more sizes here).
