Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved soft things. My friends have had to get used to walking around shops with me in the fall and winter, exclaiming, “Ooooh! It’s so soft! Touch this!” So, needless to say, my most favorite fabric in the world is cashmere. As it gets cooler in the fall and into early winter, there’s nothing better than a simple cashmere sweater dress. Not only are they totally comfortable, a good sweater dress is also versatile, warm and cozy, and will become a staple in your wardrobe that will last for years.

Of course, a cashmere sweater dress has to be cute, not just soft. I’m in love with the Bette Cashmere Dress for Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s a simple shape, which can easily be contoured with a leather belt and a great pair of high heeled boots.

The Audrey Dress by Vince is the perfectly casual silhouette for running around town, or can be dressed up for business with dangly earrings, heels, and a bolero blazer.

The Cashmere Dress in Academy Purple by J.Crew is the sweater dress that I will wear so often this fall that people will begin to wonder if I live in it. I love the un-fussy crew neck cut, which makes it easy to wear even at home, if you want to. I’ll throw on a pair of leggings, a thin headband and some ballet flats to feel Audrey Hepburn-esque
