This $25 H&M Dress Looks SO Expensive On

Although it may seem a bit late in the game, since I live in sunny Los Angeles, late October is typically the time of year I reserve for finally stocking up on fall and winter staples like cozy knits and outerwear. And, since I’ve been maximizing my summer staples to the very limit, my cold-weather style has felt like a bit of an afterthought … until now. As the evenings start to get chilly and daytime temps start to hit the 70s, I’m frantically marking the items I can easily (and affordably) work into my wardrobe. Luckily, there are plenty of brands coming to my rescue with fun fall separates that are as chic and of-the-moment as they are practical for LA weather. I may be fashionably late to the fall party, but it seems there’s still plenty of style to go around.
