What: A BCBGeneration v-neck shift dress in a multicolor print, reminiscent of pointillism, with flecks of two essential fall colors: teal and eggplant.
Both Versace and Gucci showed the same color combination in their fall-winter 2011 collections.
This take on the trend is less of a bank-breaker, and, unlike the aforementioned high-end (and high-volume) designs, it’s simple enough to function as daywear.
Where: Sunset Clothing Xchange
Price: $29.99
Style It: The tunic-style frock’s material is an ultra-light,
silky polyester, making it wearable year-round in the desert. During
the slow transition from summer to fall, tote a light sweater (like this one from Rag & Bone)
to wear while in air conditioning.
Accessory-wise, sleek,
menswear-inspired pieces will balance the breezy femininity of the
dress. Go with a basic carryall, with simple, classic lines like this one from Coach‘s heritage line, and Church‘s linen and leather brogues.
