The sweater dress is making a big statement this season, especially in shades of plum. By Plastic Island, this belted v-neck version accentuates your curves, thanks to the flared skirt and short sleeves, not to mention the flirty pleated hem and chic beaded necklace. From Companions in Little Rock.

A graphic patterned top with jeans can take you just about anywhere these days, especially when it’s as striking as this pin-tucked chemise from Plenty by Tracy Reese. The abstract rose pattern weaves several purple tones together, along with ruffled details and jet-black buttons. We love it over classic gray jeans by Seven for All Mankind, topped off with a long, faceted stone necklace. All available at Masons in Fayetteville.

Made of simple jersey, this Poleci top from PK’s in Conway gets a touch of drama from its full sleeves, keyhole back and delicious dark plum hue. The Y-shaped necklace from Beyond Cotton in Little Rock weaves together violet-tinged freshwater pearls and glass beads, and the classic black trousers by Fabrizio Gianni from Kristin Chase in Little Rock are supremely flattering thanks to a hidden front zipper and stretch fabric.
