The fall collections are all over the fashion media these days, but for most of us it's still summer - so that means it's time to stock up on easy dresses that will carry us until the leaves actually start to fall!

This cotton dress by BCBG in china blue is the quintessential summer dress - simple, preppy, and just made for flip flops (or bare feet!). We think it would make an adorable beach coverup, or an even better dress to run errands in if you're stuck in the city during these last dog days of summer.

Can't you just feel the ocean breeze?

Available at bcbg.com - ON SALE $168 (originally $240)
