What the Wroot Wore Wednesday: Sweater Dress by Chaps

Know what the Wroot wore Wednesday? A black sweater dress by Chaps Ralph Lauren.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved sweater dresses. They’re perfect for the fall and winter months, and they almost always pair up with tall boots perfectly.

I’ve found that gray tights or very sheer black hose work well for an outfit like this, so that the lines of the boots and the dress are better defined.

You may remember that last week I also wore a scarf around my wrist. I totally dig this riff on the more traditional way of wearing a scarf around the neck. This vintage silk scarf provides pattern and interest to an otherwise all-black outfit. Silver jewelry ties in with the silver buckles on the dress.

These tall boots by Franco Sarto are a bit more dressy than a short-heeled boot, but still very comfortable.

A sweater dress can be the foundation for a classic but sexy outfit: although it might not reveal a lot of skin, it certainly shows off plenty of curves.

Sweater dress by Chaps Ralph Lauren purchased at Kohl’s (same one), Dover tall boots by Franco Sarto purchased on sale at Marshalls (same boots at Amazon), gray tights purchased last year at Designer Shoe Warehouse, silk patterned scarf is vintage (similar), all silver jewelry pieces are older gifts to me.
