Cozy Winter White Ribbed Sweater Dress

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Oh my gosh, when I picked a winter white dress

 for this week's post, I did not know 

most of the country would be buried,

 knee deep in the white stuff!

❄️🌨️❄️🌨️❄️

 The possibility of some snow was vaguely being predicted,

 but the totals just keep growing and growing!

Hope everyone is safe, we are far from dug out yet!

Sweater dresses have made quite a comeback this year,

along with knit pieces of all types-

I'm looking at you, classic crew neck 

button down cardigan sweater!

These are everywhere in all the colors

 and prints imaginable this winter

 Fashion has gotten really practical this season!

The dress I am wearing is a warm,

 hefty ribbed cotton knit,

long sleeved and ankle length

It's a comfortable dream to wear

 in winter white with black stripes down the sides

 Speaking of white,

 can you believe that Pantone chose white

 (Cloud Dancer) 

as the color of the year for the first time ever, this year?

There is a lot of debate going on about this choice,

 I will just say here that

it is said to indicate a fresh start

 and a shift towards peace,

 I surely hope this is true

The dress is much like an elongated version

 of a favorite, cosy pullover sweater 

The stark black and white contrast of the dress

 makes it the perfect backdrop for some bright pops of color

This is the brightest, most cheerful pink

 handle bag I ever did see!

Roger picked this out for me,

he certainly knows what I like 🙂

For jewelry, I chose some bold structural pieces

 to complement the dress

All silver tone, a large orb on multiple chain necklace,

 a chunky dome bracelet,

 and a pair of circle and sphere drop earrings 

A few more punches of color in my accessories,

since the dress solid dress is such a good canvas to decorate!

 A retro 90's bright pink belt with a bold silver tone buckle,

 and a reversible geometric pink, purple and black 

print scarf in my hair

I'm going to wear these shoes out this winter

 I seem to choose them first over every other

 pair of shoes in my closet, every time

 They are black suede sling backs with a low block heel,

and are ever so comfortable

 I have this shoe in embossed navy blue also,

if it looks familiar!

I will be trading these for snow boots

 for the foreseeable future!

Here is a sweater dress from a previous season,

 back during the winter of 2019

It is a solid burgundy, a color that is back in style today

I think I will get it out for a restyle! 

Hope everyone stays warm and has a good week!
