AT LEAST I'M NOT WEARING FRINGED BOOTS, TOO

Readers, I am working from home today as I recover from some fit my stomach is pitching. I'm sure my coworkers are happy that I'm not there in the office, spreading my germs around like an inebriated New Year's Eve reveler with access to a bucket of confetti. Germy, germy confetti.

So, rather than show off my sweet outfit of dinosaur-print pajama pants and giant Boston University t-shirt, here's a previously unposted outfit:

'iceland air' sweater dress, free people [x]
black tights + black diamond tights, hue + modcloth
cummerbund belt, anthropologie
'allie' flats, bcbg
ring, f21



This dress was love at first sight. I spied it while shopping for my holiday party dress and it ended up coming home with me because I am weak-willed. Don't judge me. It definitely has a pretty hippie/flower child vibe to it, which is probably due to the wonderful sleeves and light sweater-knit texture. Beware, though, if you are of a normal height and not as fun-sized as I -- this dress is short.

Finally, I want to give another shout-out to Tara B's "12 Days of Christmas" feature on Little Girl Big Closet. Yesterday was an astonishingly lovely vignette from Kathryn and Carol, and today is Lisa's ridiculously adorable take on "3 French hens"! Accccccck, I love it!

  2. This is a very cool sweater dress. When I think of sweater dresses I think of mono-tones, turtlenecks, and straight lines. This dress is none of these things. I love it! And nevermind how much I love your red walls and overall household decor. Where on earth did you get that awesome area rug?

  3. I love all of the patterns going on with the dress and belt. You look very cute in this.

    I'm going to enjoy my commute now because whenever someone coughs up a long, I'm going to picture them coughing rainbow confetti. :)
    Unless they cough on me, then I'm just going to be pissed, lol.

  9. AmyK, I totally tried on this dress at FP while in Boston and concur that it was way too short on my 5'7 frame, however on you, super-duper cute and oh so flattering. I love how well it goes with the Anthro belt, meant to be!!
    I hope you feel better soon and really looking forward to your post on Tara B.'s feature!!

  13. The word fun-sized made me laugh! I love this dress. I am glad I know not to hunt it down for myself though. (I am about 5'7")

  14. LOL at "fun sized". Not only am I "fun sized", I'm also (proportionally) short limbed. Makes for some interesting try-on's lemmetellya. Get well soon! Half my office has been stricken with some bug too... Get rested and hydrate yourself!

  15. This is so cute! I love sweater dresses...unfortunately in most circumstances for me, they're simply too short. Boo. I'm 5'6 and 3/4 legs, which screams inappropriate...if I was 3, no problem. Ha. It looks adorable on you and super comfy. Hope you're feeling better ~ I'm on Day 8 of feeling miserable and FINALLY got antibiotics from my doctor. Whew. ~ Susan

  16. That dress is adorable. I am also weak willed and ended up doing the "one for them, two for me" when I was out buying Christmas gifts. Oh, well, we are doing out part to stimulate the economy. I hope you are feeling better and enjoying your weekend.
