welcome back to monday, darlings! here we are in the last half of august. summer is on it's way out and fall is quickly approaching. it's almost time to gear up for your fall wardrobes, so for the next month, i'll be giving you my 4 favorite trends for this fall!

this week, let's talk shift dresses! they're lightweight and a darling sophisticated flirty choice for any occasion. this fall, expect to see them everywhere! my favorites are the vintage inspired choices or actual vintage 1970's shifts. view the below style tips and see just how functional and practical investing in a few shifts can be!

style tips: from day to night, a shift will always be your best choice. (click through style tip images for full information from polyvore.com)
for an evening look pair your shift with a structured bomber jacket, cardigan or trench coat. add a great wedge and a structured handbag, and head out the door. a cute pair of stud earrings and a matching ring will give this look an extra wow factor.
for a daytime look focus on accenting your shifts with darling colored tights or socks and flats. so many stylish choices of flats are available for fall, and you cannot go wrong with investing in a pair or 3! keep accessories to a minimal. a dainty necklace, ring or wrist gloves will be just the thing to add interest and allure to any shift.

if you are nervous about buying long-sleeved shifts, try tank or cap sleeved shifts. they will make a nice transition from summer to fall regardless! good luck!
