You can’t go wrong with a simple black sweater dress and knee-high boots. Accessorize however you please (trench coat, chunky gold jewelry, a fun bag), and this outfit will stand the test of time. My dress is even a bit large for me today. If I weren’t headed to work and could wear this any length I please, I’d throw on a cute belt to define my waist. My dress is old, so I’ve linked some very similar options (including a nearly identical H&M version for this year), and my boots are my new faves from Zara that I won’t stop raving about.
