Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day, especially if it's black and white?

Not me. Not Alice and Olivia.

The Colorblocked Mini Shift dress by Alice + Olivia is pure comfort because it's a sweaterdress . With a high-but-wide neckline accented with a double band of black, three-quarter length sleeves, and a fairly modest hemline (for a minidress, that is), you could wear this to work with a smart pair of flats, then do the quick-change into a pair of black patent platform pumps with a rounded toe and head out for Happy Hour.

Available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $242.
