I know we’re still kind of at the tail end of summer right now, but I’ve been sharing lots of fall clothes, and buying a few myself, too. One of the things I picked up is this cropped cable knit cashmere sweater from J.Crew, and the minute I tried it on, I instantly knew I wanted to write a post about it – it’s that good. Cropped? Cashmere? Cable knit? All things I love, and the sweater truly does not disappoint.

Now that the seasons are changing and it’s starting to feel like fall is really here, I’ve been doing some online browsing – and some shopping, too – to pick up a few new things for the season. After (maybe too much) browsing, I came up with some basic inspiration for my fall shopping – trends that I’m seeing and loving, and what I’m gravitating towards.

I am very much a dress person. I love how easy it is to have a full outfit with only one piece of clothing but can still change it up with accessories, and mostly, I love how easy it is for me to wear one and how much more comfortable they are than anything with a waistband when you’re sitting all day. Dresses are great and super easy in the summer, but in the fall (and beyond), they take a little more consideration. I have to decide what layer I want to add to make the dress wearable but also weather appropriate. So I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to take dresses from summer into the fall.
