I’ve received a number of shopping questions about dresses for family portraits, fall gatherings, and Thanksgiving. Today, I’m sharing some gorgeous fall dresses, all under $260, that fit the bill perfectly, starting with this lovely Ophelia & Indigo dress, which was generously gifted to me by the brand. I reached out to them after a Magpie reader pointed me in their direction. Such gorgeous patterns, and at an approachable price point! I love (!) the cuff on this dress. It is so sophisticated and flattering. Just the prettiest.

P.S. Are you ready for Halloween?
P.P.S. I’ve needed to exercise “the realistic preview” frame of mind quite a bit this week — sick days, half days, school closures, etc! It’s been helpful to assess how much time I’ll realistically have to work at the top of each day this week.
P.P.P.S. Cute fall bags.
Hi Jen!
Do you have ideas for a 57th wedding anniversary gift for my in laws? Preferably something on Amazon that can be delivered quickly! Thank you!! Xo
Hi Jessica! Happy anniversary to them. This is such a hard one since I find my parents’ generation “have everything they need” and are impossible to shop for! Are they wine drinkers? I’ve had this beautiful wine bucket on my Amazon wishlist forever —

Otherwise, what about sending them Jeni’s ice cream? I just checked and they indicate they can ship the week of 10/10:
