Hello Lovely Ladies!
Bringing you another edition of #turningheadstuesday! First I must thank you all for your participation in the linkup. You are all FASHION ROCK STARS! We hit a record with 178 posts linking up! I really appreciate it ladies 🙂
I have been sharing many of my blazers for fall as of late, so I wanted today to wear one of my favorite items for fall, the sweater dress and Over the Knee boots. I love the buttery rich leather of these Vera Wang premium line boots, the tiny wedge and the fact I can wear them with minis, leggings, skirts, dresses. You will see them making an appearance often on this blog. I have a love for the sweater dress as they are super comfortable, and to me it is a fashion fallacy that one can not be comfortable and stylish too. They are one of those dress and go items, where you add accessories, boots or shoes, and viola! off you go. This has a wonderful light grey knit with thicker material and a cozy turtleneck. For added color with this look, I added my burgundy moto jacket from Ann Taylor as well ( a Christmas present from last year). I am in love with the plum family: purples, plum, marsala, burgundy and the like. This jacket is more of a burgundy with brown undertones, as opposed to my lace skirt I showed yesterday with more red. It was one of the chillier days here now in Charlotte, but that’s ok with me, I love to wear jackets and boots, bring it on!

October 20, 2015 at 4:06 pmOTK boots can be tricky but not in your capable hands, Jess. The length of the sweater dress finishes at just the right place for the boots thus avoiding both the potential ‘tarty’ look and/or ‘pirate’ look of OTK boots!
The rich colour of the jacket so works against the softness of the dress and the knit pattern gives the dress texture. In such a soft colour a plain knit would look too flat.
This is an outfit that is so versatile.

October 20, 2015 at 6:10 amJess, can you do no (fashion) wrong?!
What a great look.
I have been contemplating buying some OTK boots but I am concerned about looking a little….how can I put this…. Cheap and Tarty?
I worry that they are just too sexy?! Do you know what I mean. I don’t want to emulate Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, And I don’t want to look like Puss in Boots either!
In theory the leather biker and OTK boots shouldn’t look elegant and classy together, but you have made them work perfectly.
Not to mention the equally hard-to-wear Jumper dress.
Perhaps it is your soft colour palette? Perhaps the pattern in the knit of the dress? Or just your natural eye for turning anything you touch into a feminine look.
You have your own style and a real knack for nailing it every time!
I am now inspired to look a little harder for those OTK’s……{credit card at the ready}

October 20, 2015 at 5:20 amThat looks like such a cosy dress, and I love it with the burgundy jacket! 🙂 I used to have a very similar dress, but never wore it much as it was sadly too warm for it here! I’d go years without wearing it, so I donated it in the end.
Thank you for the link up!
