PSA: It finally happened. Taylor Swift just posted a set of stunning pictures on Instagram announcing her engagement to Travis Kelce (a moment that we've been collectively waiting for for months now). Beyond the stunning scenery (and that massive ring!), I also couldn't keep my eyes off of her dreamy striped midi dress ($400), that feels not only perfect for their fairy tale surroundings, but as a great early fall look that any one of us could wear, too. And to my surprise, I found the exact one still in stock at a few retailers. But hurry if you want to nab it—the Polo Ralph Lauren frock is selling fast (as are the super similar styles I found below, starting at $38).

If you want to get your hands on Taylor's *exact* engagement dress, I'd do it ASAP because (to no one's surprise) it's selling like that. It's made from a soft-but-durable silk and nylon blend, with the most flattering shirred bodice and retro halter strap design. And while it was perfect for Taylor and Travis's big moment, it's totally casual enough to pair with a denim jacket or cardigan in cooler weather—so RUN if you want to snag it (and wear it well into the autumn months).

If you weren't quick enough to snag the style above (or don't want to drop nearly $400 on the look), allow me to direct you to this Everlane dress that has a super similar style for a fraction of the cost. This one's made from 100 percent organic cotton, so it'll be light and breathable, and it comes in a bunch of colors and striped patterns—all of which are on sale right now.

This style looks *so* similar to the one Taylor wore, and I love that the straps are removable so you can switch up its look to a strapless design if you want. This beauty is crafted from a lightweight linen/rayon blend, and it's machine-washable, so you can reach for it as often as I already know you'll want to.

From the flattering smocked waist to the 100 percent cotton (and machine-washable!) fabric, I can't get enough of this Ann Taylor dress that boasts a similar print, style and length to Tay's, only with more coverage up top—making it great for office days and family outings. Throw in the fact that it's nearly $100 off, and it's definitely a frock worth adding to your fall wardrobe.

5. Abercrombie & Fitch Smocked Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

The smocked bodice and dipped waist on this midi from A&F give it a totally romantic vibe that both I and Taylor adore. It comes in petite, standard and tall lengths, and a bunch of other patterns, too (in case stripes aren't your thing). Plus, shoppers call out just how good the fit is. "Love the fit of this dress! Has pockets and is so comfortable," shared one reviewer. Yes, they did say pockets(!).

If that ruffle at the waistline was the detail that caught your eye, you might want to consider grabbing this midi from Anthropologie that features a similar one. It also has a zippered front making it easy to get in and out of (even if you're rushing to get dressed before heading to the office), along with pockets and a full lining. Baby, just say yes.
