brown knit dress Hyacinth House Chocolate Anne Midi Chocoloate Brown / XXL Featuring a plain design with a crew neck and stylish balloon sleeves Daring Diva Slim Fit Ribbed

Since I knew work was out of the question for a dress of this size, the first time I wore it I just went strolling around the Upper West Side, stopping into one of my favorite French bistros near Columbia called Le Monde for a martini and fries

Perfect for any formal occasion, it's sure to make you stand out and feel confident

Style with strappy heeled sandals - as seen on the model - and keep accessories understated: a pair of delicate drop earrings and a slim clutch bag will complete the look without competing with the dress's architectural details

I have always preached about getting the maximum amount of versatility from your wardrobe
