Shift into Fall

Shift dresses were all over Fall runways as were color blocked black and white looks.

Today, I combined the trends in this great 60s-inspired mod shift dress.  This ponte knit dress is surprisingly substantial, which means that it will transition well to cooler temps with opaque black tights and boots.

Shoes:  Target

Since the weather is still mild, I paired my dress today with my Grecian/bondage heels and one of my favorite necklaces.

Dresses are easy to transition a look from day to night.  For after-work happy hour, I would simply trade my tote for a bright clutch.
