I love the look of the teal one with the gray booties, but that last one is epic!

You forgot Alexander Wang! Or maybe you didn't and I missed it. Well it's not really a sweater dress, but he totally rocked the oversized sweater in his last collection. Either way, great post, and as I always, I love how visual it is. Have a Merry Christmas, babe!
