Theory I developed while wearing this outfit: more dress equals more compliments on that dress. I mean, I have a crap ton of mid-thigh and knee-length pretty floral frocks, but this maxi elicited an abnormal amount of “cute dress!” comments. And all of those comments came when people saw the full-length view, not just me sitting behind my desk. I’m telling you, there’s something there.

Speaking of dresses, I’m feeling an early October theme coming on: Frocktober. I’m going to remix some of my summer dresses with jackets, sweaters, boots, and other fall things over the next couple weeks. Because (a) I want to, and (b) I like to show you guys how you can make your summer wardrobe go a little farther into fall. Just pretend you appreciate it, OK? Happy Frocktober!

  1. Sarah, I love this dress! I got a very similar one from LOFT earlier this summer and I always get compliments on it. The cut is so flattering. Love the way you styled it for fall!

  2. This dress is amazing, I am officially on board for Frocktober, and I am very much enjoying your use of the phrase “crap ton” when describing the number of dresses you own (both because I love that phrase and because it aptly describes my closet as well)!
