Sweater over a Dress

January 15, 2024 /

I have shared different sweater over a dress outfits in the past, usually as part of a blog post sharing daily outfits. My preference is to wear a denim jacket or a fitted jacket over a dress, but adding a sweater is both a warmer and cozier option on colder winter days. I wore this outfit to church on New Year’s Eve Sunday.

For today’s outfit, I chose a chunky sweater which I made more cropped by tucking it into a thin belt. I did try 3 neutral tan/cream sweaters before settling with this one. When choosing a sweater to pair over a dress, I have found that the neckline makes a difference as well as the cut.

While I really liked wearing this outfit, I struggled with the pictures: I had my son retake most of them with me angling in a different way: I am so used to trying to have pictures taken with a flattering angle, that the bulkiness of the sweater was making me reject some pictures. Thankfully, my son was patient.

I chose my French cream beret  from VivietMargot and my tan boots to complete my look. I cannot wear my berets longer than half a day because the wool makes my forehead itch. I haven’t worn my hats this year, but I have worn my berets a few times.

The Anthropologie dress was a gift to myself when it went on sale. I was happily surprised with the purplish color and the silver thread throughout. The color is described as navy but the color is definitely purple. The top of the dress is really pretty and I cannot wait to showcase it this spring. The dress is no longer available but was part of the Somerset collection.

You cannot believe how beautiful this day was! Mid 50s in the afternoon with this beautiful sky was the perfect weather for a walk with a friend. I then attempted a nap, but rested instead: too many things on my mind. We ended the day with a nice meal and a fire and I worked on this blog post. I was asleep before 10!

The boys really wanted to have a more social new year’s eve, but after the past few weeks, health struggles with family members, more to dos for me and the death/funeral of a friend, I just wanted to take it easy. Our evening was just “what the doctor” ordered!

A bientôt!
