left to right: Cotton Cashmere Wide-Striped Dress, $78; Pleated-Neck Mini Dress, $98; Sweater Dress, $78 - all from the Gap :: European Collection.

I'll admit that I don't normally shop at the Gap... the clothes I wear are usually pretty bright and full of patterns - and their style tends to lean more toward basics. And despite the fact that I would prefer red, orange & turquoise color options for all of these pieces, the newly launched European Collection has some excellent finds, including these three great dress styles, shown above. I'm completely in love with that cotton/cashmere striped dress... (I'd wear it with these tights though!)

I'm a big sucker for a good jacket - so, it's not wonder I'm drawn to this stunning Military Coat - and no matter what your style, you really can't go wrong with a great black peacoat. It looks hot with anything! And those wide leg pants are just short enough to show off a sharp pair of boots... perfect for fall (which is less than a month away!!!) -
