Versatile Fall Dresses: From School Pickup to Moms' Night Out
Mom life is highly dependent on a precious resource. Well, maybe a lot of precious resources, when you realize how valuable things such as sleep and time become. But we're talking about a different kind of life essential: mom friends. Whether your circle is a crafty bunch of blessed ladies, a collection of career mamas, savvy stay-at-home extraordinaires, or a hodgepodge of all of them, mom friends are a critical piece of survival. They give us perspective and keep us sane (and support us through all our moments of craziness).
So when Moms’ Night Out rolls around, it’s an opportunity not to be missed. Although we’ve all done fewer day-to-night activities in our adult lives than the teen magazines suggested we would, a versatile dress is a must for every wardrobe. Regardless of whether you go to the office, work from home, are self-employed, unemployed, a homemaker, or a breadwinner, the best dresses can do it all (just like you).
Here is a list of our picks for versatile fall dresses that fit the bill. Even though some of them definitely fit into a trendy repertoire, we focused our attention on pieces that could fill out a wardrobe as a staple and, with good luck and care, stay in it for years.
Leave it to Old Navy to design the fall dress of our dreams. The cinched waist, floral details, and stylish v-neck all make for the perfect fall frock. Throw on a favorite denim jacket and a pair of booties and you're good to go!
