FALL'S "IT" DRESS...MAXIMIZE YOUR STYLE WITH A MAXI DRESS

Maxi dresses can be chic for fall.  Change the color, style, and how you accessorize it to make it work for this coming season.  A cropped leather jacket is a great edgy piece to add over the dress.  Go with basic black, or add a pop of color with a bright deep blue or red jacket.  A jean jacket is a casual, cool way to wear maxi dresses into fall.  Great for brunch or a casual weekend outing.  Animal prints, chevron, and bold fall colors, such as mustard, emerald green and burgundy make a statement this fall.
