welcome to #sweaterdress season!
amazon fashionβ¦ can be tricky. for me, itβs mainly been returns and.. well, returns. letβs just say iβve had better luck with athletic finds andβ¦. sweater dresses! as we enter sweater season in TX, one of the things i like about sweater dresses is that they offer some warmth vs regular poly dresses. and for the most part, theyβre soft. here are a couple i found on amazon that are good quality, soft, fit well, and easy on the wallet. a downside of sweater dresses is that they are often on the fitted side. but nothing some shapewear canβt fix β iβm always reminded of the Spanx scene in The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCartney π€£
side ramblings: my gosh i have missed events! a couple of weeks ago i attended @hotelgranducaaustinβs long table dinner as a plus one with my PIC @wanderlustanita. it was so beautiful, from the weather to the views and tablescape. i had a GRAND time, #punintended. i also checked out @neighborhoodsushi β OMG yes, and you cannot lost wih 25% the food menu from 4:30-6PM. you heard me right, the whole food menu. most places just offer a couple of items at a discount on HH. so yep, head on over there soon, reservations highly recommended. leaving yβall with a couple to-doβs/eats in ATX next weekend: 1) check out @fiercewhiskers (also need to mention itβs asian-owned! & the most interesting yet beautiful location. you must also check out the @char.atx food trailer there β they do some mean yakitoris, #protip: ask the chef for omakase!), 2) start your xmas shopping by supporting local vendors at @bluegenieartbazaar!, 3) check out the robotic serving thing-a-mag-jig at an all you can eat korean BBQ place @KBBQAUSTIN, 4) ghost kitchen @prepatx (Taste of Home Handmade Dumplings were amazing esp the pork, shrimp & chive dumplings! and they also have Brooklyn Sandwich Shop there too, the sweet heat buttermilk fried chicken sandwich hit the spot!)

sweater dress 1 cliff notes: love the color and side slits on this one (both sides). it also has a v-back as well! while it comes with a sash i also liked it styled with skinny waist belt. neutral snakeskin print pumps to tie this classy dress together.
sweater dress 2 cliff notes: the button detail is super fun on this one, and you can button and unbutton as many as you want so that means you can also wear it as a cardigan as well = double duty! this is a more casual dress option and i love it with the neutral snakeskin print booties. iβd even wear it with knee high boots too or sneakers!
sweater dress 3 cliff notes: simple mock neck sweater dress. dress it up with a neutral print like snakeskin and layer it with a black moto jacket. absolutely yes, mix black and brown!! to style it more casually iβd wear pair it with sneakers!
