Fall is hands-down my favorite season, but I’m strangely finding it hard to let go of summer this year. It seems odd to say, but even through all of the turmoil and uncertainty we’ve faced this year – in many ways I’ve had one of this best summers of my life. As Charles Dickens so eloquently put it, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”

That being said, the world keeps on spinning (both literally and figuratively), so I’m slowly but surely getting myself into a fall state-of-mind – starting with this gorgeous dress by Sachin & Babi. It’s made of a substantial cotton that’s perfect for those in-between early fall days. And the autumnal color scheme incorporates this season’s hottest combo: chocolate brown and robin’s egg blue. I’ve never been one to blindly follow trends, but I do like to keep my looks current. I love how this dress simultaneously feels elegant and timeless while still managing to be on trend.
