Black and White Stripes and Layered Sweater Dresses.

Hello. I am making it a point between now and at least the end of next month to wear several of my Sweater Dresses and Sheaths so I will be blogging those here on Wednesdays and sometimes Thursdays. Today I got two Sweater Dresses for you and lots of Stripes which is perfect because I am linking up with Elle and Jacqueline for their Spotlight of the Week which is Stripes, this week.

The only other time I wore this Striped Sweater Dress this year, I layered underneath it with a Fuchsia Plaid Shirt. This time I am layering over it with my Winter White Faux Fur Vest which comes belted. I added some Dainty Long Earrings and a couple of Bracelets, paired it with my Black-Striped Tights (yes, more stripes) and Black Booties and wore this to work one day.
