Welcome Fall Short Sleeve Dresses
Now that summer is coming to an end, it’s finally time to stock up on more short sleeve dresses.

The ALESSANDRA RICH Wool Blend Crepe Mini Dress and the ULLA JOHNSON Cybil Odesa-print Silk Crepe De Chine Midi Dress are among our favorite options for welcoming in the fall season. While they’re much lighter than your average knit pieces, they’re perfectly suitable for the coming weeks. Better yet, you can even save them for future use in seasons like Spring. When it comes to short sleeve dresses, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Enjoy The Last Of The Summer
One hidden perk of stocking up on short sleeve dresses is embracing the last bit of summer that’s left. While we’re approaching fall very quickly, you don’t have to let go of your favorite trends just yet. From unique summer shades to patterns to textures, there’s a million reasons to savor the last bit of summer fashion.
Our personal favorite to bring into the fall is the THE VAMPIRE’S WIFE The Heartache Thorpe Floral-print Silk Mini Dress. While not your average fall dress, this spectacular piece isn’t quite your average summer dress either. There’s simply no better way to welcome in a new season than with something uncommon, especially when it comes to style. Short sleeve dresses like this one are just what you need to fuse both of your favorite two seasons together—fashionably!
