Inspired by Pippa’s Sweater Dress

There’s no doubt that Pippa Middleton has great style, and while she’s often shown sporting off-the-rack outfits I figured there must be a way to achieve her look on a slimmer budget. Take this fabulous sweater dress from French Connection that she’s wearing in this photo from People.com:

It’s oh so simple, isn’t it? The dress retails around $150, but we can do better! Here’s a similar look that features a cheap sweater dress (sadly pocket-less) and layers of brown and caramel accessories like Pippa pulls off:

Although Pippa nails her outfit on the outside, she’s not doing so well with her underpinnings. The photo shows off an unsightly bra line and proves an important point: when wearing clingy knit fabric, make sure your undies are as hidden as possible. A demi-bra wasn’t the best choice for Miss Middleton – a full-coverage number would have spared her the quadra-boob look she’s got going on.

Do you have a sweater dress that you love? I recently bought two at Nordstrom Rack…now I just need a new pair of tights to pair with them.

  1. I like the pocketless look better, much more flattering for the masses.

    I love this look, and now I want to go to Old Navy and buy that sweater dress! I currently have not one sweater dress in my closet. For shame! :)

    TOTALLY quadra-boob. Pippa, for shame! Also, that dress from Old Navy? Genius.
