One Size Fits All :: Sweater Dressing

If there's one piece of clothing that just screams fall it's got to be the sweater. "Sweater Weather" has become synonymous with the cooler days that follow up on the heels of summer... As September draws to and end and the sight of the yellow busses is now familiar and routine, we wake up to a slight and most welcome chill in the air as the leaves rustle among the branches in the trees. There is a certain giddiness that accompanies the slight change in weather which to many means a wardrobe change. We all know there's really nothing better than re-discovering some of your favorite items that have been tucked away for a while now. It's like shopping... for free!

I happen to have a certain thing for sweaters. I love not only how they look and feel, but their significance is so much greater - it means that fall is officially underway and so are all the wonderful things that come with it - from pumpkin and apple picking to finally turning our ovens back on to prepare warm, welcoming family meals like roasts and long simmering pots of soups. The season also leads to little children dressed up in costumes in search of their favorite foil wrapped candy, then on to Thanksgiving and eventually to Christmas. With the cooler days ahead, summer is sailing further away into the distance leaving warm, fond memories in its wake and allowing us to pave the way for all the wonderful things the next season has to offer.

I'm particularly partial to the longer version of my favorite piece of clothing, the sweater dress, which can be worn on its own or even paired with leggings, jeans and tailored pants. This versatile piece of clothing has a place in every wardrobe and offers the greatest flexibility. If you've been following me for a while you know that I prefer things to be simple. I aim to cut out the many middle steps and cut right to the chase. It can be done and it can be done well. This is how I prefer to dress as well - I prefer to choose an outfit that transitions seamlessly from day to night, from work to casual or vice-versa with a simple change of accessories... Have a look at the images below and you'll quickly see why I adore my sweater dresses so much!
