TopShop Sweater Dress, J. Crew Patent Headband, H&M Tights, Gryson Bag, YSL Shoes

I practically live in sweater dresses during cooler months and I love the different striping patterns on this one from TopShop. I made several trips to their impressive flagship store while I was in New York and I’m still surprised I walked away with only a handful of things. The long sleeves are nicely balanced by the short hem and when paired with textured tights, provide warmth without the need for bulky layers.

Ahh Topshop. I know what you mean, though, sometimes I go there and only find one or two things, and sometimes I have armfuls of stuff that I need so baaad! (Usually when I am broke, like now!) xx

I too am a fan of the grey. I would not have thought to partner a grey dress with white patterned tights, but I LOVE the look. Thanks!

I love the lacy tights with the cranberry-red shoes! I usually read your blog on my Thunderbird RSS and am a lax commenter, but I’ve been thinking about how much I loved this outfit and the sweater dress as a Fall dress.
