Sweater dresses are my jam. All year round. I’ll wear a sweater dress with OTK socks in the summer time yet winter provides some more fun styling options. Such as with OTK boots, leggings and ankle boots, over jeans, with sneakers…they can be worn so many different ways. Hands down the sweater dress has to be the most effortless (and weather appropriate) choice for winter dressing. Need I mention they are my go-to for those days when I opt to hit the snooze button one too many times and need to run out of the house for work in less than 20 minutes.

While I typically dress these down, having a faux fur stole as cute as this one sitting around in my closet made it difficult to do so inspiring me to play up the feminine side of things. But of course I couldn’t help but be my rebellious self and opted for a biker jacket instead of a classy button down coat.

What’s your favourite way of styling sweater dresses? I’d love to know!

Buckled






Knit, Booties, Pink Martini. Tank, Wilfred (Aritzia). Leggings, Dex Clothing. Purse, Rebecca Minkoff. Sunnies, Celine.

Sometimes all a girl needs to properly enjoy Fall is simply having the right pieces in her closet. Pieces that make you smile when you look at them. But most importantly, ones that are effective for the season. For me, that meant the addition of a light knit sweater and buckled ankle boots sans the heel to my Fall lineup.

Not sure how I overlooked black booties in the first place. However, kinda glad I did because these ones just came out from Pink Martini. In addition, they had all the features I was looking for in a Fall boot: buckled ankle boots in black. Plus they also have some studded detailing which I love. It’s always a bonus when you’re able to find an item with all features you had in mind.

I also grabbed a lightweight grey knit (which looks like a lot my other sweaters) but I guess at times you can’t help it…you like what you like. I’ve never been a fan of huge bulky sweaters, typically opting for lighter ones and just layering the sh!t out of them, depending on how cold it is. Worn with vegan leather leggings over a lace tank. What are some of your Fall staples/new seasonal additions to your wardrobe?

Enjoy your day! xo

Shhh…I’ll tell you a little secret….this sweater with extra long sleeves has been around for a while. So long that I should probably be referring to it as a vintage knit. Which leads me to one of the biggest fashion related lessons I have learned over the years. That being not to throw away (and by throw away I mean donate) trendy pieces after they go out of style. Many iterations of closet cleanings over the years have resulted in feelings of regret. In particular, as articles of clothing that I previously tossed away (with repeated reassurances that it will never be trending again) come back in style.

Alas, fashion always repeats itself. Having learned this lesson the hard way, I started to stow away some of my most cherished trending pieces after they are no longer in style. Only to revive them years later when the same trend resurfaces – which inevitably will happen.

In fact, the reason I like doing this is not to avoid repurchasing new pieces. But rather to have a unique (and vintage) version of what’s current. Not only does this reduce the amount of trending pieces you need to purchase that season, but it also provides a unique style that won’t be found anywhere else. I find I always get the most compliments on my outfit when I revive older pieces vs wearing a current piece. Which to be honest, is a little bit annoying. I mean, who doesn’t want a compliment on something they just bought vs digging out an old piece!? Has this ever happened to you??

Now I’m not saying to be a pack rat, but take caution when purging your closet. If you really love something that is no longer on trend, hang on to it. You may find yourself wearing it a few years down the road and loving the fact that you have a vintage version of a current trend. Case in point this sweater’s revival for the off the shoulder and long sleeves trend.
