the Perfect Sweater Dress

So one day I'm at work when I saw a girl come in wearing a killer sweater dress.
She wore is well with tights and little booties.
She told me she had just picked it up at H&M for less than $20.
Needless to say I ran like hell to the nearest H&M on 5th Ave during my lunch break and scooped one up. I actually wore this to my Office Holiday Party which was on a boat that sailed the Hudson followed by many many drinks at West Side Tavern.
Check out my YouTube Video of this Outfit my Fashion Steele of the Week!







Outfit
Dress: H&M a fashion STEELE at $19.99 get a similar look here
Belt: H&M get it in gold here
Sheer Hosiery: American Apparel
Necklace: Vintage
Shoes: Sole Society see them worn differently HERE
The dress kinda hangs like a bag and although I like that look, I wanted more of a shape so added my cool leatherlike bow belt that I picked up last year (teehee..last year) at H&M. I actually wore it HERE to my first Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference. These sheer American Apparel stockings are my life savers. I have been wearing them with just about every dress I own for winter. Good thing the weather here in NYC has been very non-winter like.
What has been your saving piece of clothing this winter?
Also..do you all prefer bigger photos such as this post or smaller photos such as the previous posts I've done? I'm trying to decide on a photo format and would love your opinion!
