Sweater Dress Simple or Swank

Simple or Swank: Sweater Dresses

October 17, 2008

A little girl dressed in a sweater tunic with tights and boots gets me every time. Add a precious topper and a darling coat and she'll be ready to brave chilly weather.

Simple: If the $20 marshmallow hued cotton sweater dress from Old Navy came in my prenatal size, I'd have one in every color!
Swank: Nearly indistinguishable from the Old Navy version, the Juicy Couture sweater dress is still precious but the wool and cashmere blend jack the price up to $158.

Which one do you like better?

My pick is the simple sweater.

FYI, H&M has a really cute version of this for only $14.97. I doesn't have the tan buttons, it's all cream. But it's just as adorable. I bought it with grey and cream fuzzy boots and spent the same as I would've spent on the ON dress alone.

The Juicy dress looks like a tent and the Old Navy dress looks like it has a better fit...I'd go with the Old Navy one. On top of that I think that is an insane amount to spend on baby clothes.

The simple one's a lot cuter than the swank one! I'd love to dress Evangeline & Genevieve in those little sweater dresses. Evie wore an argyle one for the first day of school, and she loved it. They're really cute with leggings or tights and their little baby boots or Uggs (yes, yes, I'm the crazy mother who buys her six year olds Uggs and dresses them all in Burberry for Christmas portraits).

The Old Navy one is so much cuter than the Juiucy one. Might have to go take a look...

The Old Navy one is much cuter anyway! I just can't justify paying even over $20 for an outfit that won't fit after a month or two.

I like the Old Navy one better b/c of the shape as well. However, if I was buying it for cold weather I would get the Juicy one.

The Swank one pretty much has to be worn with leggings, from the look of it. Not that it surprises me with Juicy that even an infant's dress would be that short. I'm obsessing over going to get the Old Navy one with the boots this weekend.

old navy. I just bought it for my daughter the other day. It's so adorable, and much more reasonable. The Juicy one looks too short and wide.

I'm not gonna lie I like the swank one better but way to expensive in my opinon.

Old Navy has a pair of fuzzy boots that would look so damn cute with that dress. I'm getting this outfit.

The Old Navy one is way cuter than the Swank one. It has a much better shape.
