Now that fall is almost upon us, it might be hard to put away those fabulous spring and summer dresses you’d waited all winter to wear. Make the switch easy by making them a part of your wardrobe next season! The key is smart layering. Wear a turtleneck or long-sleeve tee underneath along with either tights or leggings. For chillier days, cover up with a chic cropped leather jacket. Balance the look with platform heels or your new fall booties.

Resort is sort of the random step-sister collection that falls just before the holidays, traditionally designed for the richy rich ladies who could afford to jet to Palm Beach or the Bahamas as a pre-Christmas getaway.
