Ah, we're almost at that awkward fashion phase. You know, the one where it's too cold to not wear a jacket, but it's too warm to wear a jumbo puffer. But Hilary Duff just cracked the code for dressing in-between seasons.

The How I Met Your Father actress recently announced on Instagram that she would be joining the Planet Oat X Girl Scouts partnership, which would include "helping Girl Scouts as they learn, grow, find their voices, and take action to make the world a better place." The announcement is sweet, to say the least, but you know what else is pretty sweet? Her brown ribbed dress.

Since she was standing behind a counter and lounging under a blanket, we can't be sure what shoes (if any) the actress styled it with, but we do know that she added some chunky gold accessories, which popped against the dark hazel-colored dress.

In honor of the in-between season, we've rounded up five ribbed dresses that we'll be wearing now until further notice.

Ribbed dresses seem to be a common clothing choice for the star this year: During a trip to see Funny Girl on Broadway back in January, Duff wore a similar ribbed dress. However, the rib detailing was less pronounced, the brown color was a bit lighter in comparison, and it also had a turtleneck neckline. So when you subtract the high-neck and go for something a little less cozy (it's tough, we know), you have a spring-to-winter dress that can be layered up or peeled down, depending on the weather.

Amazon has a few similar options to Duff's pick right now, and they're all relatively affordable. There's this Prettygarden Ribbed Midi Dress which one shopper called "the most flattering dress in the world." It has a tie in the front for some extra fashion eye candy (er, cookies), and although said to have a square neckline, it looks more round, like the one seen on Duff. The pastel purple or pastel blue color would also be perfect once we do our yearly transition into a lighter color palette.
