Sweata (dress) weatha!

I watched part of the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary show last night. Thanks to Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler, "sweata weatha" became part of our vernacular and my favorite time of the year. I'm wearing a Banana Republic midi sweater dress , Madewell scarf, and J. Crew OTK boots.

Gorgeous and a nice nod to the phrase! I love the cognac with the slate grey.

Suz: Thank you! My dress is teal, but it may appear gray due to my phone's camera and the lighting in my dining room.

Love this outfit. Teal is your colour, and is superb with tan. YLF!

I love this! I thought it was grey, too. Still, it makes me want to wear tan and grey. You really look fab.

A gorgeous sweater dress in you. The cognac accents with the belt and boots and the light brown print scarf are the perfect luxe looking accessories. A beautiful outfit!

Great look for you! Another fan of the belt and boots, very cohesive look.

Love Sweata Weatha! Your outfit is just gorgeous. So elegant and chic. A good sweata dress is hard to find, and this one suits you perfectly.

KILLER beautiful. So pretty and elegant!!!

LOVED the 50th anniversary SNL shows!! The music version is as good as the skit version

Rock

The teal and cognac combo is beautiful. To go with another SNL vernacular, DA BOOTS are gorgeous (cue Bill Swerski).

Echoing others -- beautiful color palette here. I'm taking notes and will aim to try a teal/cognac look myself!

Love the cozy chic sweater dress and the color combo. You look fabulous. I didn’t catch the SNL skit, but this post makes me curious.
I recently purchased a sweater dress that I haven't worn yet. I will be wearing with boots, I love belts, but I think a belt might be competing with the details on the shoulder.

Star: Teal with tan is so versatile. It's a favorite color combination.
JAileen: Grey with tan sounds so lovely. Do it!
Lisa: Without the tan boots and belt as well as the scarf, the dress would be lacking in visual interest. Accessories are key!
Firecracker: I haven't worn a sweater dress over 10 years because, as you correctly noted, good ones are hard to find.
RobinF: Thank you!
Angie: Thank you! I also loved the SNL 50th anniversary shows.
Rock: Bill Swerski! HAHAHA!!
SarahD8: I think you would look wonderful in teal/cognac.
JP: Thank you! Your sweater dress is super cute. Yes to wearing it with boots, but I would forgo a belt.

I have been watching the special in bits and pieces on youtube - I think I have seen most of it already. You do sweata weatha justice and more with your gorgeous look!

Sal: Thank you! I always have to throw in a little 70s retro element into my outfits.
Jaime: Thank you so much!
Suntiger: I can totally see you rocking a sweater dress!

Awesome outfit - such a pretty color, and great with the boots, belt, scarf.

Bronx Beat was on the very top of my favorite recurring SNL skits. Ever see the one with Hugh Laurie as the local butcher?

Gosh, this is so good! The boots, belt and scarf combo fab! And the sweata dress is amazing

Lovely sweater dress…great styling. I bought a burgundy sweater dress this winter after going at least 20 years without one. Also wore mine with (black) knee high black suede boots. Comfortable and warm!

Laurie: Thank you! I just watched the episode of Bronx Beat with Hugh Laurie. So funny!
kkards: Thank you!
Aquamarine: Sweater dresses are so great paired with knee high boots. Your burgundy sweater dress sounds amazing!
