Workday/Weekend Sweater dress

Workday/Weekend Sweaterdress



Old Navy tailored shirt / GAP slim pants / Fergalicious high heels / n.d.c. n.d.c shoes / Wet Seal western booties / H&M , $24 / Post earrings / Givenchy necklace / Gap Multi Striped Sweater Dress / Chinese Laundry Tremendous | Piperlime

I had someone ask me how to wear a sweater dress for work, and then wear the same one casually on the weekend.  I chose this striped one because it's one of my favorites.  But pretty much any sweater dress can be worn for either, if paired with the right shoes and accessories.  Toss a button down on and a faux pearl bunch necklace and it instantly dresses it up.  Add dressier shoes and you are ready for work.  Change to boots/booties, an infinity scarf and some studs and you are ready for a movie/ shopping/ weekend fun! 

Enjoy!

What to Wear with... Wide Belts

What to Wear with... wide belts



ASOS scoop neck dress, $40 / H&M cotton blouse, $13 / H&M chiffon shirt, $12 / Elastic waist pants / Flat heels / Wet Seal bootie boots / ASOS high heel booties / Promise Shoes leather high heels / Overnight bag / Geneva hardware jewelry / Kendra Scott cuff jewelry / MNG by Mango wide belt / Mango leather buckle belt

Wide belts are hard to accessorize with.  Skinny belts are more in style and can easily be paired with many options.  But, I had a mommy reader want to get some use out of hers to mask her shrinking belly.  We can work with that!  I used one of my favorite sweater dresses and paired it with gray booties and a statement bracelet. 
Next option, I found an over-sized white button down or larger polka dot blouse (both from H&M) and some faux leather pants from Target.  Make sure either shirt is over sized and blouse-y, and reaches the middle of your tush or longer after belting and you will give the allusion of a tiny waist/ hourglass figure. You can use black leggings instead and black booties or fun pair of flats.  You can rock either outfit with a cute diaper bag I found on etsy.com.  

Enjoy!

10 sweater-dresses under $50

10 sweaterdresses under $50



Calvin Klein knit sweater dress / Old Navy fitted knit dress / ASOS three quarter sleeve dress / Calvin Klein short sweater dress / Old Navy empire waist sweater dress / GAP long sleeve striped dress / Lauren Ralph Lauren ralph lauren dress / Sheer long sleeve dress / Vintage black dress / H&M three quarter sleeve dress, $24

 I am loving sweater-dresses as of late.  You can wear them to the office or on the weekend depending on what you pair them with.  Here, I'll give some suggestions how to dress up/down a few of them:

1- This sweater-dress is on the longer side, perfect for the office.  I would wear a knee high boot with a heel for work and a fun colored statement necklace.
5- For work, I could put a white button down underneath, black tights and black wedge booties. Or, for the weekend, add a floral print scarf with similar colors of the stripes, tights, black flat boots and jean jacket.  
7- Work, just how it's shown, with the leopard belt, black tights and booties.  Weekend, change out for black booties with the toe open or flats for more casual.
10- I could head to a bar in this dress, add a black leather jacket and some pumps with studs and silver accessories and (fall color) oxblood or cobalt blue clutch.
