Great tips, all!

Sal, my favorite long sleeve dresses are sweaterdresses (so chic and warm). Right now, however, stores are gearing up for Spring, so for better or for worse, it’s time to hit the sale rack for Winter dresses.

Blazers are all about the right fit - and as a result, they’re tough to shop for. For sheath and wrap dresses, I like the long, hip-length blazer for sophistication. Do make sure that the armholes are cut high; this adds to the long, lean look.

For a work-suitable Spring jacket in an area that’s pretty chilly, you may want to look for lightweight versions of Winter fabrics such as flannel or tweed. These fabrics will help you through early Spring, after which you can switch to warmer weather fabrics.

I am not sure where to post this question on this website. I love the practical suggestions I find here.

What do you recommend for a work-suitable spring jacket? Spring is usually around 40 degrees Fahrenheit here.

Thank you in advance!

I love dresses anytime! I am having difficulty finding blazers that work with different type of winter dresses (for ex. sheath and wrap dresses - my two signature styles). So, I usually end up wearing a cardigan, tights, and boots/pumps.

I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you!

Tights will ALWAYS work. You can do either boots or pumps and you're good. When going outside, grab that sexy trench or cropped leather jacket...It'll be super duper fierce! P.Y.T - by UrbnSocialite on Polyvore.com

I LOVE dresses. My favorite way to dress in a dress is ALways with tights, a cardigan, pea coat, ankle boots, and with a scarf.

My fave types of dresses are normally mod but I’ve progressed to more baby doll like things.

Anyways, I love this outfit!!!

I’m yet to try a blazer layered over a dress, but have thrown mine over leggings, and also layered v-necks on top. I do wish I could find more long-sleeved dresses for winter wear. Any recommendations?

I love relatively inexpensive dresses (simple silhouette, colorful print fabric) from Urban Outfitters or H&M and dressing them up with dark tights, boots/booties, a clutch bag, and/or a belt.
