I got this turtleneck sweater dress when I was in New York for fashion week. I envisioned wearing it with leather leggings and booties. But since it hasn’t felt like Fall until this week it’s just been sitting in my closet waiting to make it’s debut. Then I saw Alessandra Ambrosio step out in an oversize sweater with sneakers and was immediately inspired to take out my dress before it was cold enough for tights.

Instead of using my footwear to add a pop of color, I brought in a rosy accent with my new pink bag (it’s 20% off this week!). And like Ale, I’m a huge fan of the bag charm trend. My fuzzy pom-pom is faux. The only real fur? My rescue dog, Bunny Bell, who joined me downtown for a day of fashion appointments.
