Autumn, while I love the colour change in the leaves and the crisp mornings, does make me a little sad that I have to put away a lot of my summery dresses and replace my wardrobe with leggings, jeans and cardigans! So, I went on the hunt for some fabulous dresses that are still in keeping with the Summer, but are beautiful for the Autumn months as well. It's time to revamp my wardrobe.
1. Scalloped Sleeve Sequin Skater Dress (Simply Be, £100)

2. KoKo Floral Layer Dress (Simply Be, £36)
Favourite Feature // I love the unique style in the split fabric in this dress, as well as the contrast of the red and yellows to the black. It's such a nice length too and would look fabulous with leggings, tights or on its own.

3. Mela Loves London Aztec Print Dress (Next, £25)

Style Score // 8/10
4. Panel Lace Floral Dress (Madeline, £99.95)
