Hope you’re having a great weekend so far, ladies! I’m currently in Scottsdale, and the weather couldn’t be any better…for now! We’re going to cool down quite a bit and get some rain later this week, so I’m enjoying it while I can.

Like me, you’re probably seeing sweater dresses everywhere this time of year. When I spotted this midi-length one (with all five-star reviews) on Anthropologie’s website, I grabbed it. I’m soooo glad I did because it is THE MOST FLATTERING sweater dress…and I’m going to tell you eight reasons why I love it!

1. Midi-length silhouette

Its midi-length silhouette is SO flattering and timeless. This will never go out of style.

2. Dolman sleeves

This type of sleeve gives a little more room on top and adds shape and interest.

3. Side slits

It has not one, but two side slits that hit right at the knee. Not too high. Not too low. Just right!

4. Flattering neckline

This boatneck cut compliments most body shapes.

5. Very soft and comfortable…

…like wear-all-day comfortable!

6. Holds its shape throughout the day 🙌

7. Hello, versatility!

Style it up with boots or heels, or dress it down with sneakers or flats. Add a belt, scarf, jacket, statement jewelry or whatever accessories fit your personal style. I’ve paired it with my favorite off-white ankle boots from this fall, but it could easily be worn with animal print or colored boots of any height.

8. Standard, petite, and plus sizing

It comes in multiple sizing options (as does a lot of Anthropologie’s clothing) to fit our unique body types.

My accessories

My silk, leopard-print scarf was a gift from a sweet Chinese student several years ago. I’ve linked similar animal print ones below along with my Ralph Lauren leather jacket and others.

➡️ Oh, and currently, Ralph Lauren is offering 30% off your order with code HOLIDAY, plus an additional 15% off of select outerwear. They have gift guides for men and women. I just ordered this slim shirt for my son for Christmas (he doesn’t read my blog, so he’ll never know  😆).

My other accessories include these gold-plated necklaces from Gorjana. I thought the chain-link one nicely complimented the charm necklace, as did the 14k gold square hoop earrings from Bony Levy, a Nordstrom-exclusive line. I love their square shape as opposed to regular circle hoops.
