Fall Preview: The Sweater Dress

Cozy chic for fall...

The Mavis Sweater Dress by Burberry is a perfect example of the transition of belted dresses to colder weather. Knitted materials are used just like fabric and therefore profit from a good cut and construction. Choose classic styles that are wearable both before and during the fall/winter season. Pair it with long boots for added warmth and style!

Classic and fun at the same time...

Remove the sash, wear flats or sandals and a simple T-shirt for day-to-day activities; make it chic by pairing it to high heels and a partially-sequined top; transform it into office appropriate with a tucked-in blouse. A mini has never been this versatile!

The Modern Cocktail Dress

Presenting New Found Lust's wardrobe import for today:




A modern cocktail look...

The Draped Tank Dress by McQ Alexander McQueen becomes a statement by just putting it on. Formed by a modern silhouette and fabric, this dress might well be the cocktail dress of the 21st century. Accentuating the waist with a deliberately careless black belt and draping open at the start of the hips, this dress was made to be flattering on most women. Grab a clutch and a pair of pumps and you are ready to go!
