The Sweaterdress That Keeps Giving

If you’re not afraid of staining, this cream on camel color scheme is a winner! The loose fit of this dress is perfect for indulging on your favorite comfort foods, but it’s still cute enough to snap a #Thankful selfie for Insta.

Classic Collegiate Answers Time-Honored Question, “How’s School Going?”
