These Casual Fall Dresses Won't Break the Bank
With changing seasons and ever-changing fashion trends, we wholeheartedly understand and advocate for selective budget shopping—namely, on spending less on pieces you may only wear a few months out of the year, and in investing in timeless pieces that seamlessly transition from season to season and be worn year after year. But that's not to say you can't find something that checks both boxes…
And as such, we went on a mission to find items, specifically dresses, that are wallet-friendly (none of the finds below will cost you more than $150) and will maintain their spot in your wardrobe rotation for a long time. From a streamlined jersey mini to a super-cool denim shirtdress we're already planning to style with cowboy boots come autumn, these are the affordable, casual fall dresses we're eyeing right now.
Available in sizes 2 to 14.
