    11. A high-neck and high-fashion ruffle-trimmed frock that's an instant killer OOTD worthy of fall Fashion Week — just add statement earrings.

    12. A professional-looking tweed shift dress reminiscent of pieces by a fancy designer that rhymes with Schmanel — for a teeny-tiny fraction of the price. It'll look super posh with or without tights underneath.

    17. A comfy and swingy all-season floral dress that would be ideal attire for wandering around in a field twirling to Folklore and Evermore.

    18. A boho tunic dress, which I'm not saying you HAVE to pair with a floppy hat, hoop earrings, and boots for a vibe that's ~a little bit Alexis~, but am definitely saying you should.

    19. A ~check~tacular grid-print midi dress that's obviously got pockets — where else are you supposed to keep all the compliments it'll score ya?

    20. A surprisingly comfy bodycon mini dress equally awesome for rocking on its own (just add heels, sneakers, whatever) or layering with a scarf, jacket, or sweater.

    21. A denim shirtdress for anyone who's starting to get bored of their old jeans and is looking for a jean-ius new way to wear denim this season.

    22. A luxe spaghetti-strapped, seamed mini, because the arrival of fall means it's finally VELVET SEASON, people!!!

    23. An autumnal mixed-material tunic dress sure to patch up your boring wardrobe problems, so you'll definitely be plaid you bought it.

    24. A unique knit combo dress to make you look like a layering expert — even though all you did was pull this baby on. Bonus points if you add a statement necklace!

    29. A sweet sheer-paneled, collared tunic dress with floral embroidery you're sure to get ~sew~ many compliments on — especially when paired with badass combat boots.

    30. A posh oversized turtleneck dress that basically screams, "Why yes, I DID just get back from frolicking through the leaves. Please bring me a PSL."

    31. A crying-eyes faux-leather overall dress meant to signify that "crying is badass" for my fellow sensitive rock stars out there. This'll take your moody fall vibes to a whole new level.

    32. A mock-neck mini shift for a mod, appropriate-for-all seasons staple that's an excellent backdrop for all your bold jackets, shoes, and accessories, but would also be chic on its own with flats.

    33. A comfy three-quarter-sleeve dress, which is way more than three-quarters awesome. You'll give it a 4/4, 10/10, or whatever you want to call it for versatility, style, and POCKETS!

    34. A one-shoulder sweater dress, because the weather can't seem to decide it it's hot or cold and you can't either, TBH. We love a happy medium.

    35. A wedding guestworthy pleated midi dress with chic flared sleeves that makes a bold statement all on its own, but you'll get bonus points for rocking it with a statement necklace. Booties and a floppy hat make it extra autumnal.

    36. A long-sleeved T-shirt dress that seems basic, but is there anything basic about a pretty asymmetric hem or over 7,500 positive reviews? Didn't think so.

    Looking out the window and realizing the weather is perfect for your new fall dress:
