Temperatures are dropping, but that's no excuse to let your fashion sense go into hibernation. In fact, this is the perfect time to turn up the heat on your wardrobe. Personally, I like mixing and matching cool weather accents, like long sleeves and high necklines, with hot, curve-hugging cuts. It's not always easy, but I've figured out a way to get everything I want in a look, without having to spend too much money: buy fall dresses!

Fall dresses are perfect for curvy girls. The materials used to make most autumn dresses are both sturdier and more forgiving than the materials used to make summer dresses, meaning they'll fit your curves like a glove. Besides, fall dresses are really fun to accessories. Hello, waist-cinching belts and ankle booties!
And because dresses are an all-in-one look, that means you get a full outfit, for half the price of a pair of jeans and shirt. You know what that means–you'll have more money to buy more curve-hugging dresses! Well, in that case, you may want to check out these 10 budget and body friendly fall dresses, handpicked with bootilicious mujeres on a budget in mind.
