Everything we recommend The research A day-to-evening cotton taffeta midi dress: La Ligne Avalon Dress Top pick This cotton taffeta midi dress charmed us with its puff sleeves, fit-and-flare shape, and fun touches, like a swingy belt and zippered pockets

Wool barathea is still the standard because it's matte and doesn't catch light in an awkward way

This Chain Strap Small Satchel Bag looks very similar to a designer bag, but at a fraction of the cost

Its by no means super expensive in the world of fashion, but when you want it for the holiday season and so much else takes priority, it is hard to pull the plug

I like pairing them with the two tone flats or my all black pair for a streamlined look
