Aqua Draped Sleeve Sweater ($59) // Teardrop Pendant ($49) // Envelope Sheath Dress ($150)
Layered dresses are a hot trend right now, so I thought I would recreate that look with a boxy sweater over a sleek, fitted sheath. Wearing a sweater over a fitted dress is also a great way to go from day-to-night after work. Just lose the sweater before you head out.
Two comments: 1) This sweater is much (MUCH) cuter in person. The color is brighter aqua, and the side vents make it a fun, breezy piece. 2) This dress is not the ideal choice for this. Banana Republic is selling a knee-length, racerback sheath in both white and navy, but they’re not selling it online. If you’re looking for something ideal, this Mallory from Jones New York is a better choice.
Looking for something similar in plus-size? Try this Kasper sheath and this cropped pullover from Target.
Why is the dress not ideal? I’m guessing the asymmetrical hemline? I like the layering idea, though.
The length is a little shorter than I’d like. It’s a 35″ hem, knee-length is usually 37 or 38.
