Right now, my shopping focus is on pieces I can wear now (comfortable in this crazy Charleston heat) and later (when it finally cools down and I can layer a bit). This creamy Merlette dress is perfection. It’s like an elevated take on the t-shirt dress. The smocking at the waist is both flattering and comfortable. This $99 dress from & Other Stories is very, very similar. With either, the dress will look great with sandals now or layered over boots when it cools down.
Now & later: Transitional style
Read on for even more transitional favorites. My favorite barrel jeans, pretty suede flats, a cranberry red dress, and the top that’s following me all over the Internet thanks to retargetting ads. (Rachel Comey’s entire fall collection is fantastic, btw).
