Q&A: What to Wear with a Sweater Dress
Q: I recently purchased a lined ivory sweater dress that hits just above the knee. It’s a really cute dress and I want to get as much out of it as I can and make it dress as versatile as possible. What you would suggest in order to dress it down or up?

A:
Here’s how you can dress the ivory sweater dress up and down:
Casual: For a cute day look, add a chunky knit sweater for extra texture and gold ballet flats, which add warmth to the ivory sweater dress.
Playful: Wear brightly colored tights with neutral colored flats and a little clutch.
Formal: For a formal look, pair the sweater dress with dramatic bronze Mary Jane high heels and simple jewelry: gold or bronze bangles will keep the look cohesive.

Layer this cowl-necked poncho over a pair of skinny pants for a dramatic big-over-small look.
