Perfect Dresses for Work and Play. Fall at Folly!

If you're a Folly girl you already know! We love a cute dress with pockets. This lovely skyline print dress from Emily and Fin is twirly and sweet. Perfect for work with a cropped cardi, and goes right into happy hour drinks with friends. A scoop back that's bra friendly and little pops of color. 

Fall is the perfect time to wear a mini. Paired with some Tummy Tuck Leggings and a cute Obi Belt, this dress will be a cool weather staple! Love the kaleidoscope paisley print, modern take on a bell sleeve, and great lattice trim detailing.

We love Candy! The Candy Cowl Tunic that is! A new style by Sarah Bibb. So easy and great for layering up. This tunic is slim enough for a cardigan, great with these super cute printed tummy tuck leggings or skinny jeans, and the super cozy cowl is perfect even under a jacket. 
Candy Tunic in Maroon and Cozy Stripe $128

A long sleeve faux wrap dress is a great addition to your fall line up. Cute with tights and boots or just a cute flat like Kari has on here. This lovely soft dress has pockets and a bra friendly keyhole detail on the back. Just above the knee for a perfect work length. The skirt is super full and twirly!

New Fall Arrivals! Cozy, Cutes Prints and Lots of Layers!

I love the start of Fall, don't you? I know I know, it's a little sad to say goodbye to summer barbecues and river side picnics but fall brings so many wonderful things! Cozy nights by the fireplace, the rain up here in Portland brings so much life to our beautiful lush and green city.

Plus...Who doesn't love fall fashion?! Always so soft and lovely, and this year we're seeing a lot of rich colors and classic and vintage inspired patterns in modern silhouettes. Love it!

Cameo's bralet and hi waisted brief sets are the perfect foundations. 
Soft, comfy, supportive AND cute. In multiple colors too ♥

Emily & Fin make the most beautiful vintage inspired dresses. Great modern fits that are super friendly for any shape. Lovely prints in the most gorgeous colors! Oh and did I mention pockets? 

Graphic black and red is a foolproof way to make a statement. Sarah Bibb's Obi Belts are the perfect finisher. Great over dresses, a hi waisted skirt and a top, or over an open cardi with jeans and a tee!

Rose Printed Obi Belt in Black or Red $45


Isn't it so cool that in Portland we have SO many amazing local artists and designers? At Folly we not only sell our own house line which is made right in store (yep you can literally "peek behind the curtain", just ask us nicely!) but shop owner and designer Sarah Bibb carries other local lines as well.
This gorgeous and easy one size shrug is made by Copper Union right here in Portland. I love a classic dot pattern! It goes with basically everything. A classic polka dot is a great way to make your first foray into mixing prints!


I am so about these joggers! A wonderful soft knit pant that actually looks cute with a blouse? Yep these are basically sweatpants you can wear to work... Can't go wrong with that!

A bomber jacket is the perfect layer for those cool mornings. We love this houndstooth print! It's big and graphic and the black and white is the perfect match for this seasons rich jewel tones. This jacket zips up and is a lovely heavy sweater knit. Cozy cute!


A silk cami is the perfect layer under a big comfy sweater. We absolutely love the loose and flowy fit!

We always have some Level 99 Jeans in stock. They make the softest stretchiest denim! The fit is great because of their signature curved waistband! It's comfortable and prevents that annoying gap.

I love an a-line mini! Fall is a great time to show off those gams. With tights of course! Cooler weather is the perfect season for a mini skirt matched with a fun colorful tight. (Also it's a great time to wear a mini skirt without a fresh shave or wax...hehe)

B.Ella's tights are our favorite. They're a sueded cotton so they are soft, warm, and breathable!

Fall is Coming! Here are Some Current Favorites of Mine...



We've curated some extra special and chic pieces this fall for you fashion conscious girls out there.
Limited size runs of all these items so snatch them up quick! 




So in love with this mixed-media top! It has a rolled turtleneck collar, and is made of silk and a wool blend jersey knit. So luxe and amazing and absolutely gorgeous over your favorite skinny jeans. So modern and cool! The graphic pattern and color scheme is super chic.

If you know me you know how I feel about tight things and leggings. I'm not the biggest fan! I prefer comfort every time. But OH MY GOSH! These knit skinnies we have by Denimocracy are so amazing I could live in them! They are made of a super soft french terry, have the perfect amount of stretch, and they are super opaque! No worries biking or bending over in these bad boys. And no elastic waistband, just a traditional button/zip closure! Extra comfy. I love them in this Coquette color!
Oh...and made ethically in the USA!

Also in LOVE with this textured scuba dress! An easy body-con silhouette...but so slinky! It's fully lined and the heavy-weight fabric feels sooo good! Who needs Spanx? Not you in this beauty! So cute as a going out dress, but the modest neckline and length mean you can wear some tights and boots, maybe a cardigan, and you are SET for work! Thank me later...

I am a big fan of the easy open cardigan. Wear it loose to add volume to a simple outfit of a tee and skinny jeans..so on trend! Or for a classic and flattering look, belt it at the waist. Belts are one of my all time favorite accessories because we all have them, they are easy to wear, and they make you look so polished! 

Last but NOT least is one of our biggest bargains right now! This super adorable 1940's style work dress is such a great deal for how versatile it is! A simple silhouette with a little sash, cute pleating at the shoulders, and darts along the neckline! Just above the knee on me (I'm about 5'4") and so easy. Pair with some mustard tights and mary-jane heels...Adorable and so vintage cute!





Hope this helps get you inspired for Fall!

Frock Shop Retro Dresses!

Frock shop sent us these super cute 1940's style dresses...They are so sweet and girly!

The Gwinn Dress is a navy vintage style dress with an adorable retro print. With a tie back, adorable gathered shoulders, and an amazingly flattering cut you couldn't go wrong! Such a classic and demure look. Would be adorable with some oxford shoes for work, or go out to dinner in some cute vintage style heels! The perfect date night dress for sure.


Then there is the Naomi Dress, a black and white vintage style dress. Super cute shirt dress in that same 1940's fitted waist and a-line cut. The most adorable horse print! Bring out your inner equestrian!  Has a cute detachable waist sash...you could substitute with a cute belt. Also hits around the knee but with a slightly deeper v-neck. Maybe an opportunity to let the beautiful lace of your favorite Sarah Bibb slip peek out? A great dress to impress. Unique, quirky, but with a classically flattering silhouette. Perfect!!!
