It seems like it became fall overnight here.  One day it was 80 degrees and sunny and the next it was 50 with a chill in the air.  With the sudden transition, I haven’t truly gotten a chance to unpack my warm clothes yet.   I’m using layers, however, to create warmer outfits that transition into fall without having to unpack the full winter gear.

One of my favorite things to wear with layers is this wrap dress.

Wrap dresses are flattering on almost all figures and are extremely versatile. Plus, they can be found in a number of fabrics and price ranges.  A wrap dress in a solid cream, black, or navy is great for a simple classic look and can be restyled in a number of different ways, or you can find a number of beautiful prints available.
