It's official: autumn is finally here.

Yes, the days are getting colder (and shorter). The leaves are starting to change colours. And, really, the temptation to stay indoors and curl up with a good book or the latest Netflix offerings is all too real - or, at least, it will be when this mini-heatwave is over. But while the looming colder temperatures mean cosy coat and jumper season is on the way, that doesn't mean it's time to pack away the brightly coloured pieces just yet. This €29.99 floral midi dress from Stradivarius has caught our eye for so many reasons. The midi length is not only super flattering, but is also makes it the perfect piece for when you're sick to death of wearing tights. And the lightweight fabric makes it easy for layering, meaning you'll get plenty of wear out of it - even with the colder weeks ahead. For autumn, or even winter, we'd be thinking of pairing it with our favourite ankle boots and a cosy teddy bear coat. Or maybe even pairing it with neutral-coloured jumper (or a complimentary one, like a dark green, pink or red?) and trainers, when the days are a little warmer. And we can just picture wearing this for a day of exploring on summer vacay next year. But if the pink hues aren't to your liking, the retailer also have a similar-style dress - with a more autumnal colour palette - for the exact same price: €29.99. We are loving the ruched detailing around the waist - and not to mentioned the tiered bottom, too. Again, it's one of those pieces we know will for every season - and none we'll be reaching for again and again.
