French Connection sweater dress styled 2 ways

October 11, 2021 Denver, CO

The moment I saw this French Connection sweater dress, I already knew it’d be a great piece to wear over and over again this fall. It’s high quality wooly knit sweater material, cozy with the right amount of decadent puff sleeves. Today, I’ll be sharing how I style this French Connection sweater dress 2 ways.

Style puff sleeve midi dress with a belt

With the big statement from the balloon sleeves, I wanted to add a belt to break up the piece a bit. I’m wearing this reversible belt (similar) I recently got from Hermès.

The gold cursive letter buckle is beautiful and the right touch of feminine I wanted.

Adding a belt also adds a cozy and polished detail of the leather to the outfit. The dark pink leather in color Rose Mexico from Hermès certainly pops on the white dress and breaks up the outfit nicely.

Similar pink belt from Coach (on sale $38).

Wear French Connection white dress with Burberry classic cashmere scarf

Cozy on cozy, that’s what this combination is. On colder days that are approaching, I will be wearing this long sleeve midi dress with a cashmere Burberry scarf tied around the neck.

Burberry scarf and sweater dress

The Burberry classic check (color Archive Beige) adds interest to this look. And the soft and cozy cashmere feels oh so luxurious.

I also like that the scarf doesn’t take away from the balloon sleeve of this dress. Perfect fall combination!

A white puff sleeve dress is such a chic statement in the fall. This dress fits true to size. I’m wearing a size XS here, and the dress fits me like a glove.

I love this midi length. I personally think it’s a very wearable length. Not too short. And you can wear with short ankle booties, or calf length boots.

Versatile dress, can certainly be styled with a vest as well. I wouldn’t wear a coat though, as to not cover up the pretty balloon sleeves.

Which of these 2 looks is your favorite way to style this French Connection sweater dress?

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.

It has been the best experience with recovery and breastfeeding I’ve had between the 2 children. And we can’t get enough of Mr. Colt’s smiles and snuggles 🧸.
