As the months get cooler but before it starts becoming full on fur-insulated boots & arctic jackets weather 😫 (can you tell I'm not a fan of winter?) transitional pieces take over my wardrobe.  My absolute favorite time of year is Spring, but the Diwali - Holiday season are a very close second.  That being said, I love dresses too much to stop wearing them, SO I just start transitioning to earthy tones with berry accents.  Its just so comfortable and easy to gravitate to these colors during the fall season.  

When I saw this dress, I absolutely fell in love.  I usually do not gravitate to smaller prints, but the colors, embroidery and silhouette just make this maxi SO easy to wear.  As many of you know, I am not for the trendy but rather classy staples.  This is definitely a staple.  

The way I see it, invest in classic pieces that can remain in your closet for many years to come, like this one (bonus perk: since this piece is Indian inspired, I can definitely wear it for Indo-Western events too!  yay!).
