the sweater dress: winter casual chic
With several months of winter ahead of us, nothing beats the warmth and comfortable style of a sweater dress. Add some color with a layering piece and add a couple of accessories to give it some flair.
Starburst Sweater Dress in oatmeal heather. I have seen this soft merino wool dress with dolman sleeves on and it is very chic. Hourglass and Inverted Triangle body types would look best in this style. It is also on sale! Add an ivory color or a pair of fun colored DKNY Control Top Opaque Tights.
Gap Ultrafine turtleneck – this super soft layering piece can be worn layered underneath the dress. The new navy color adds a burst of color.
Nine West Truella – these are my favorite suede boots and I wear them frequently. These rock and the adjustable tie in the back will draw attention. Believe me – your friends will want the same pair.
For accessories try the Gorjana Bedford Messenger Bag. This leather bag would look stylish worn across your body. Try a Bop Basics Cashmere Fitted Cap in ivory – it adds a modish touch to complete the look.
I love this look! It is so versitile-casual, dressy or even sexy depending on what you wear with it. Tall boots with dark hose is the norm that I see. A belt and other accessories go great with it, too. Wonderful article.
A belt would also be cute and it would highlight the waist. You do see a lot of dark boots out there but I liked the taupe for a change. I have dark and taupe boots.
