Dress: H&M. Blue cashmere grandpa cardigan: vintage Jaeger. Bow necklace: Forever 21. Pear watch pendant: Marc by Marc Jacobs. Dark gray ribbed tights: Joe Fresh Style. Black patent brogues: Aldo.

I call this dress my Madame Mode dress because the first time I saw it was on her blog and I had to have it. As soon as she told me it was from H&M I went to go look for it. Luckily one of the four left on the rack was in my size.

Like the title says, I wore this first to work then out at night (after a much needed nap in between -- I woke up at 4:30 am and couldn't fall asleep again!). However, I wore black flats at work since I was on my feet all day.

looks great on you, I have seen this dress on so many other Bloggers (especially German girls) and I got bored of it. The first time I saw this dress I was like "oh how cute" but after seeing that everybody got it, well not so special anymore.
But you can wear everything, I love the way you pair it up with the shoes and the cardi looks comfy. Cute necklaces, which are not too heavy and overwhelming, just right for the outfit.great!

I never realize how popular this dress was until now! I also saw it over on Fashion Toast last night as well. Luckily I've yet to see girls here wear it.

& thank you :) I love that cardi. It was passed down to me from my grandpa so it's a little oversized (he used to be thin for a male, which is why I can almost fit it), however, it's suuuuuper comfy and cozy and now I don't want to wear anything but cashmere!

cashmere is the best fabric for sweaters or cardis, I prefer cashmere over other fabrics but it looks like I have an expensive taste because it's hard to find a good cashmere sweater for a reasonable price. Well at least for me ;) I have some old navy cashmere sweaters and they are soooo comfy. Just loving it!

oh, I agree. I wish I could afford more cashmere! I only have this cardi. I have another cardi from Joe Fresh, but it's only 5% cashmere. However, that 5% makes a difference in the softness of the cardigan and it doesn't irritate my skin like wool sometimes does.
