Sweater Dresses

One of the nice things about living in LA is that you can still wear something like a sweater dress and not be freezing in the winter time. The great thing about sweater dresses is that they're totally warm and stylish at the same time. It's always tough finding outfits that are both functional and stylish. However, if you're like me and very sensitive to wool, sweater dresses can be tough.

Sweater dresses are also really versatile. They can be dressed up with leggings andknee high boots/heels/ankle boots (although i'm not a big fan of the ankle boottrend). Or with skinny jeans and flats/heels/knee high boots. Of course, a big belt around your waist usually will work with them also.
I already posted about this KAROO Mark Eisen Sweater Dress $352.00 here it is again, so cute! The thing that's great about this dress is that it's a little looser so it doesn't show everything.



The turtleneck version (left) is also pretty and probably even warmer. It's on sale for $281.60 This Kimono dress $242.00 at Shopbop.com (right) is also gorgeous. I love the color and how the belt looks with it. All these KAROO dresses can be found at www.shopbop.com


For something a little funkier try this Diane Von Furstenberg Kody Sweater Dress $415.00 or this Victoria's Secret Cut Out silk and cashmere dress $75


For a sexy version of the sweater dress try Vince's Cashmere Halter Dress $265.00. You'll be sure to turn heads at any holiday party.


If you're on a budget or you don't feel like spending a lot of money on something that might only be around one season, there are also a lot of options.

I went into Wet Seal the other day (first time in at least 5 years) and found these sweater dresses. Not the best quality but still look great. The store had some fun and trendy stuff for really reasonable prices, I might be going back soon.
Scoop Neck Belted Sweater Dress $24,50 (left) I bought this one and am going to wear my own belt with it, it looks great on and doesn't itch). There's also this Mock Neck Sweater Dress also $22.50 (right)




I've never bought any clothing from Victoria's Secret but after seeing these 2 sweater dresses that might change.
Silk Sweater Dress $75.00 (left) or this Puff Sleeve Turtleneck Dress $78.00 (right)


For something with a little pattern there's always this Kimchee and Blue Dress at Urban Outfitters. On sale for $49.99 (left) Or this Free People Lambswood Fairisle Dress $98.00 at Urban Outfitters (right)


Sometimes sweater dresses can show all your imperfections because the material is clingy and the dresses are tight. But don't let that deter you from wearing them, that's what Spanx are for!
