Sweater dress + slip skirt

Happy Wednesday and Happy Christmas Eve Eve! I can’t believe we are just a couple of days away from Christmas.

I feel like I haven’t shown y’all many styled looks recently, so I was glad my girl, Allie, could take these photos for me! I love that this dress gives the illusion of a sweater and skirt but is in fact one piece. It’s super comfortable and can be easily dressed up and down. I’ve worn it with heels, booties and sneakers! Click the links above to see this dress and a couple of similar options that would be great for a low key New Year’s Eve!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas! XO, MS

Three ways to wear knee high snakeskin boots

When I purchase an item that’s an investment piece, I want to make sure I have a variety of ways to wear it. I often think of this as cost per wear. The more often I wear the item, the more I get for my money. These boots were an investment, so I wanted to share a few ways I plan on wearing them this season.

Skinny Jeans & Boots

Tuck your go-to non distressed or distressed skinnies into these snakeskin boots. Add a cozy chunky sweater and of course a headband to complete the look!

Cotton Poplin Dress & Boots

Elevate these boots with a fun and festive dress – you know I love a statement sleeve. The color is perfect for the holidays too! Add a printed headband or a fun earring to complete this Thanksgiving outfit.

Sweater Dress & Boots

A sweater dress is always in style for the fall and winter. I love the look of this dress layered over the tall boots. When it gets a little chilly, layer this shearling teddy coat on top.

Another fall and winter must is the sweater dress! They are perfect for date night with one of these booties and for snuggling up on the sofa at home. I focused on dresses that are around $150 and below with just a couple of exceptions. Many are even under $100! I can’t wait to snuggle up in my sweater dresses all season long – think Thanksgiving night after I’ve eaten too much!

The Sweater Dress

I don’t love wearing tons of layers. That’s why I will never survive somewhere that’s average winter temperature is in the 30’s. I can handle it on occasion but prefer the South’s mild winters. This past weekend, my mom and I visited my brother in Chicago, and Lord have mercy!!! It was eight degrees when we landed. I had to buy a new coat because the one I brought (heaviest I own) wouldn’t suffice.

Last week in Dallas it dipped into the 30’s, and I immediately grabbed this cozy sweater dress. Call me crazy for having bare legs, but this beats the plaid skirt I wore everyday to school growing up. I layered this shearling lined denim jacket to bear the cold. This was the comfiest look for the coldest day!

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m a huge fan of this sweater dress. It’s easy yet warm and goes with everything. I’ve worn it to dinner with heels, around town with booties and with Adidas to class. Add varying accessories to create different looks. I’ll let you know what other combinations I create!
