The Gingham Sweater Dress

Dress: c/o Dainty Jewell’s
Moto Jacket: T.J. Maxx (old), similar here
Shoes: BCBG

In case you haven’t noticed, I have not been wearing any dresses on the blog recently. In fact, I have been avoiding them. Regardless of the mild winter we are having (and I mean extremely mild for Chicago!), my tolerance for cold weather gets worse every year. I really don’t know how I was able to do outfit posts with dresses during the winter in the past!

So when I came across this gingham sweater dress, I was slightly nervous about wearing it outside. To my surprise, the dress described exactly what it is – a sweater! I love the quality and material of the dress. I love the thickness of the fabric. It’s cozy and warm. It feels like a fleece blanket! But that’s the thing about Dainty Jewell’s collection, their mission is to create modest clothing out of the highest quality.  They stick to their word! Dainty Jewell’s believes that every women has the right to express their fashionable side without giving up their modesty. I love a brand that supports women! They support women across the world who desire to be presented as international ladies.

Plus, how fun are their dresses! I have my eye on the Serendipity dress too. It’s just too cute. I decided to go for a dress that is more versatile. I mean, who doesn’t love gingham?! The fact that it is a sweater dress won me over because it is so hard to find a true sweater dress and this is the perfect dress to wear in cooler temps! I also love how I can easily change the look of the dress. I can keep it conservative and relaxed by wearing the dress with just heels. For this post, I was feeling edgy and added a moto jacket to give it a touch of a ‘cool’ vibe.  Depending on how you accessorize the dress, it can easily look work appropriate, date night, girls night, or just a day to wear a dress!

  13. I tend to avoid skirts and dresses at this time of year too. I just can't handle the annoyance of wearing tights and the fact that they don't really keep you warm.

    Freezing or not, it was totally worth bringing out this dress to share on the blog. It's gorgeous and I LOVE how the leather jacket adds that cool factor!

  63. Totally did not guess that that was a sweater dress! I thought it was cotton and thought you were crazy for wearing it out in a Chicago winter, but now that I see that it's a sweater dress, I completely commend you on this look! Are you enjoying all of today's snow?
