I’ve written before about my (theoretical) love for dresses. They’re so easy to throw on in the morning, they always look polished and, best of all, they feel like pajamas. So why don’t I wear them more often? 

I guess I just don’t own dresses that I really love. I have a handful of breezy summer dresses, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel appropriate to wear them now, especially to work.

So I think it’s time to trade in the beachy stripes and summery colors for a slew of fall dresses. I’m talking warm fabrics, luscious fall hues and easy layering pieces. Dresses that make my mornings easier and my nights more exciting — at prices that won’t jeapordize my rent money. Click through the gallery for a list of fall-ready dresses, all under $50!
