Crazy Pinwheels



What I'm wearing:
*LOFT Cable Sweater Dress in Mill Neutral
*anthropologie Pinwheel Tights (similar here)
*Christian Louboutin Brown Suede Pumps (similar here)
*Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Bag in Leaf

Just a quick snap of my new cozy sweater dress! I was waffling between this oatmeal color and the charcoal, but decided that grey is normally the color I reach for, and that I should try something new. I bought the orange pinwheel tights earlier this year when they went on sale, but never reached for them because I thought that they were just a little bit too crazy looking. 


They are still pretty crazy looking but I'm glad I finally wore them! With the neutral colored dress + shoes, the tights definitely stand out, but I love them.

  2. I own these tights and never wear them- this outfit is SO perfect for showcasing them in a restrained manner. Genius :)

  7. Aww you look so cute! I hate having to decide which color to buy (I usually buy both if I have enough dough)! Your tights are so adorable!

  8. The tights are a little crazy, but you made it work by wearing it with something neutral and classicly shaped! I feel inspired to finally try out my bright tights!

  9. Those tights are the cutest thing ever. And hopefully this doesn't come off as odd but you look hot! That dress hugs you in all the right places.

  10. Those are cool tights!

    I have a sweater dress with 1/3 sleeves too. I was thinking to myself for the past year - why didn't I get one with SLEEVES?! I will always have to wear a jacket on top. Thank you for allowing me to see that a semi-chunky sweater like this will not look that great with full sleeves.

    I think I am going to pull it out soon.

  19. OOOO, I love this! The tights are definitely crazy, but the fact that the rest of your outfit is so "normal," it really works so well!

  20. The tights are the perfect pair for this neutral dress. I love the pinwheel design and they're very flattering! The sweater dress looks so cozy. I've been eying it at my LOFT store too but haven't decided on whether I want to get it. Thanks for modeling it for me!
