Yesterday I saw a school bus full of kids which always makes me giddy.  No I’m not a mom, it is just the first sign that fall is almost here!  And I can’t wait because it’s my favorite time of year.  
Every year before school started, my mom, gran, and I would always mark the occasion with a shop till you drop trip to Dallas or Houston.  While my school days are over, I still find myself in the mood for a little ‘back to work’ shopping come August.  Add fall fashion to the mix and it’s a great time to hunt down some pieces for those cooler days ahead.  
 
Now finding pieces that are both work friendly yet fashionable enough to wear off the job can be a bit difficult.  So when I found this dress I just thought it was the best of both worlds!  You all know I’m no stranger to a shirtdress, and I love the detailing on this one from Banana Republic.  While it’s professional enough for work, I knew it would look just as cute with my Superstars on the weekends.  (Yes, I’ve slowly become a sneaker girl, can you believe it?!)

Are you ready for fall fashion?  Or are you a summer girl?
