Style in Season: Sweater Dresses
First thing’s first: sweater dresses don’t have to be frumpy. It may take a little extra cash – or waiting for the right sale – but a well-made, well-fitted sweater dress can remain a winter staple for years. Jen bought one a year ago, and happily pulled it out of her closet last week for [...]
