A sweater dress . . .
Do you have one on your list ? At this time of year they begin popping up in window displays, on mannequins throughout the stores, and on just about every store email I receive.
I must admit, I have my eye on this one here, and here, but this little number came at the perfect price point. It was handed over to me from Melanie, the fashionista star of bag and beret during our blogger meet-up last July. And leave it to Melanie, she quietly whispered in m ear exactly how she thought I should style it, “just add some black tights and funky boots”. I don’t know if this is exactly what she had in mind, but with my one black tights and colehan booties, this color block sweater dress has made its way into my everyday apparel.
On a beautiful fall afternoon, it’s warm enough to wear all on its own (I’ve actually worn it without tights and some lower heeled booties).
When the temperature begin to drop, I simply add a light weight jacket.
I patiently waited for this one (banana republic) to go on sale, I know it will be my go-to-jacket of the season.
So, will you be added a sweater dress to your wardrobe this season? Or are you lucky enough to already own one?
Thank you Melanie for adding one to my closet.

What a fab 60’s style!
I do own one sweater dress. I’m don’t own a bunch since sometimes I find I overheat in them. Odd when you consider where I live.

I totally relate to the overheating thermostat. Dang menopause, well at least that’s what I’m chalking mine up to.
Love this style, and Melanie’s advice is spot-on : >
I own one sweater dress, this being Florida and all, and enjoy wearing it. You look terrific.

Thank you Patti, I’m so glad Melanie talked me into taking it home with me. I’m actually surprised you even own one living where you do.
This is a great sweater dress, and you look fabulous in it!. I think I own two (unless I’m forgetting one), and I’m wearing one of them today.
Andrea, I sure hope you share these with us.
I love the look, the plaid jacket is beautiful.
Thank you Josep-maria. And this plaid jacket, well I’ve been wearing it daily so it was definitely a good purchase.
Oh wow, you look great in that dress, Trina. I’m glad you were able to revive it with this styling. And it looks fantastic with that jacket. Passing this over to you was my pleasure. Incidentally, a Vancouver designer made the dress. I don’t remember if I told you that or not.
I was wondering about the designer so that’s good to know. I actually googled the tag and it did take me to the site. Thanks for the info. And I seriously am loving it, thank you so very much for handing it over to me.
Wow, you did well at the swap. What a gorgeous dress. Especially on you. You have exactly the right figure and height for it. I love it. And indeed well styled by our stylist Melanie. Love the boots as well. You and I do like each other’s shoes and boots, don’t we??

This dress is perfect for you, great swap! It has a great retro vibe ( recalls Twiggy!) and I love how you paired it what the jacket!
Stunning!

I have a fair amount of sweater dresses, find them super comfy! I love the style and where the red ends looking retro, perfect with the boots and plaid. Very nice!
