A hint of retro influence lends Emma a playful and incredibly appealing vibe. That’s not all there is to love about this cute and completely effortless shift dress, though.

Fall is only five days away, which means two things: waving a sad goodbye to sultry summer and easing into a cooler-weather transitional wardrobe that addresses the somewhat confusing weather patterns of the moment. Staying simultaneously comfy and just warm enough is a challenge easily conquered by this cowl-neck poncho. It provides a degree of coziness that you’ll need when temps drop, and it’s perfect for layering over a light top, too. In three colors.
What’s not to absolutely adore about this pretty floral dress? It’s the ultimate for fall, boasting a pretty pattern over a dark wine backdrop. The sheer panel on top adds a playfully alluring touch.
