These Outfits Will Convince You to Invest in a Checkered Dress

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram only to land upon a snap of an outfit that leaves you saying, "I need to buy [insert item] ASAP"? It's happened to us, too. Most recently, we've seen a consistent dose of checkered-dress outfits flooding our feed, seriously inspiring us to invest in the printed piece for fall and winter.

What's not to love? It's easy to wear (which is always a bonus), can be styled in so many ways, and acts as the perfect base upon which to build the rest of your look.
