With so many fresh items popping up each day, OC's fashion editor, Alice, brings you her favorites in "THIS JUST IN."
One of my favorite looks of all time is sweater over dress. From the sweater's heyday in the 60s, when it usually joined forces with a wiggle dress and an awkwardly conical bra, through to the late 90s—when it was more Stella Tennant in a field, an ankle-length Helmut Lang dress, and a slouchy knit—this is a look that has stood the test of time. There's something casual and mysterious about concealing part of the most dressed-up garment in your wardrobe with a simple crewneck. Proenza Schouler's drop-waisted pre-Fall dress made me think about new ways to wear this double act. What sweater do you put over a dress with a low flared skirt? The answer is the same as it is to so many wardrobe-related questions: J.W. Anderson's seasonless windowpane-check pullover. Its slightly long silhouette makes it a perfect pairing for Proenza this week.

This outfit is a total texture fest. A little shearling bag by Kara picks up the fuzzy velvet of Simone Rocha's bow-front brogues.

Obsessed with this sweater! The colors and pattern remind me of movie credit sequences from the 50s and 60s, like the opening of North by Northwest.

The Perspex-sole shoe is a total Simone Rocha classic. For fall, they come in velvet with these amazing Louis XVI-style bows.
