A new outfit from Elle of Elle Blogs, whom we introduced to YLF in April 2015.

This is a fab example of Angie’s Sweater Dress Outfit Formula. Elle is sporting a cream above-the-knee cable-knit turtleneck sweater dress that adds lightness to the other, all black, outfit components. She chose a long black puffer vest with a slightly A-line silhouette to top if off. The cosy vest is about 2 inches longer than the dress, which works well with the tall boots and bare legs combo. Elle’s chunky combat boots with platform lug sole bookend our blogger’s dark hair, and give this polished casual look a hard edge. The stretchy knit material is unusual, and provides fun texture. The vest’s quilted material and the boots’ criss-cross laces are also great ways to add subtle textural and visual interest. A black shoulder bag, bright red lipstick, and oversized sunnies complete the look. Great outfit for a milder Winter day.
