Sweater Dresses!


Have you sent in your recipe for Friday Foodday? What are you waiting for? Do it!

Last night I went a bit overboard at the Ann Taylor Loft sale. Surprise? Nope, not at all. Especially with 50% off sale items. Hello? Anyway, my favorite item I got was a blush colored sweater dress with belted ribbon. I can't find a pic online but its adorable! $30 with black tights and I'm looking so put together with so little effort. So today I wanted to talk about sweater dresses as they are a great staple for fall and winter.

My big warning with sweater dresses: they show everything. Every bump, roll, pudge, pantyline, everything. So please, if you need to go up a size so it doesn't cling- do it. You'll be doing the world a favor and it will look so much better on you.


I like the big sleeves on this dress. You cold even remove the belt and use a ribbon of your choosing or a leather belt!


I love this for the weekend. Be careful with your jewelry choices though- those are thick stripes, don't try to get fancy with them!


East 5th, belted sweater dress, $49.99
This dress has got great lines. Nothing clingy, just very clean. I'd love this with heels. Don't let the hem past your knees, if needed get it tailored!


Tommy Hilfiger, Donegal, $79.50
Um hi there perfection, my name is Kelsey. Please meet my brown suede J Crew riding boots and we will live happily ever after!


Tommy Hilfiger, Riley, $76
I am loving this dress. The pocket placement is perfect and it is such a versatile item! Pair with black boots, brown oxfords, you name it. Have fun with this one.


final point: if you think it might be a little bit too short for work....it is.
