I've been on a dress-wearing streak lately. In fact, I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of jeans! LA's endless summer is enabling this stylish whim of mine, but I'm also hooked on the throw-on-and-go ease of a dress. I'd like to perpetuate my streak straight into fall with the no-fail slip-dress-sweater combo. It's a look that both comfortable, feminine and yes, throw on and go. I'd happily slip into these dresses by Asos, Alexander Wang, And Other Stories (also this one), Protagonist, and Free People.
In my book, a little sparkle never hurts.

I have a similar looking pair of Alexandre Birman heels that are currently in heavy rotation, but would love to sub in this fun red pair by Seed Heritage at a quarter of the price.
I
love the idea of wearing a cardigan as a jacket--and this is the time of
year to do it (or at least we're getting close to it)! This nubby
knit has all the trappings of outerwear: it's cozy, chunky, yet still light enough to be indoor friendly. It's hard to see from this pic, but the yarn bobbles form cute heart shapes. In other words, it's adorbs--and under $100. Yes, please!
Just snapped up this statement-making jumpsuit that not only works day to night, but is customizable: you can shorten the length, close the cut-out on the bodice, add another arm ruffle or make the strap wider. I chose to keep as is, and can't wait to wear it!
Teaming jeans with a button-down is a no brainer, but Leandra Medine, above, makes it look genius! Her styling hack: Elegant, sparkly sandals to add sophistication and an unbuttoned shirt for (unexpected!) sexiness. I'd like to pull off this chic look with any of these shimmery shoes from Isabel Marant, Sophia Webster, Frances Valentine, Badgley Mishka, and Aquazurra.
The stripes, brass buttons, and sporty-chic vibe add up to my kind of sweater.

Timeless staples are always good but timeless staples on sale are even better. At least in my book! J.Crew is offering 30% off tons of just-in fall styles through 10/9, including the cute camo jacket, above, this sequin-trimmed cardigan, this striped turtleneck, this faux fur leopard vest, and these leather mules. Check it all out here.
