I love kicking off the school year in a dress, one that’s fashionable, functional, & versatile in styling possibilities. While I do love my classic scuba fit & flare dresses of yesteryear, I’m so drawn to the flowy ease of a “basic” dress that’s really anything but—

SHOP: Knox Rose A-line maxi dress @Target in 4 colors ($38.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

SHOP: Knox Rose flutter short sleeve tiered dress in 4 colors @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

This season, I’m loving the fall tones, including olive, burgundy, & pumpkin. Of course, any of these dresses can be styled with a denim jacket or duster cardigan, as well as ankle booties or cowboy boots. Which dress do you like best? Which colors are you drawn to?
