The other week I went to visit friends in Boston and was faced with the ever present dilemma of what to wear for a two and a half hour car ride. It has to be comfortable, it can't turn into a wrinkled mess, and it has to work for the remainder of the day - walking around the city and going out to dinner.
After half my denim wardrobe had ended up on the floor, I remembered this little grey sweater dress tucked away in a drawer. It has comfort in spades, and was the perfect choice for the car ride. The knit is thick without being bulky, and it has long sleeves, which meant I was still warm even as the temps dropped in the evening, and it's form fitting enough that I still felt dressed up at dinner.
While I got this dress last winter, I've linked a few of my favorites you can pick up this season, and I might need to grab one in a different color too, because dresses just make life easier.

That's definitely a perfect "do it all" dress! I love when pieces are comfortable but work for lots of situations

A good sweater dress is like solid gold and this one is a winner! I always find that I love sweater dresses on the rack, but when I put them on, something just feels off, whether it's the cut or where the hemline falls or something else. So I'm still hunting for my perfect sweater dress but luckily I don't go on many long car rides in the fall and winter, or I probably would have forced myself to find one a long time ago ;)

I'm still missing a good sweater dress in my closet and I need to change because yours looks downright dreamy.

A superb choice Lydia - no wrinkles and perfectly polished.
ReplyDeleteI wonder however if after sitting in it for hours the pattern does not imprint on your skin ?
That is definitely the perfect sweater dress for fall! Love it with your boots!

Sweater dresses don't get nearly as much love as they deserve. As you said, they're ultra comfortable and cozy! I think it's hard to find one that doesn't stretch out too much, though.
