I’ve said many times that I’m a picky shopper but when it comes to shopping in the dress department, I take my decisions very seriously. Dresses aren’t as versatile as pieces like skirts or pants, so there are a lot of factors I consider before purchasing. While I like breezy dresses for the summertime, I like to have a few in my rotation for fall too. Think ribbed-knit maxis, sleek slip dresses, and poplin dresses in moody tones. Since we’re heading towards September I thought it’s time to add one or two new styles to my collection.
I searched through what felt like thousands of dresses and was able to narrow down my finds to 30, reaching both ends of the price spectrum. Whether you’re looking to invest in a new designer piece or on more of a budget, you should take a look at the options below.
