We believe that a cowl neck instantly makes everything more sophisticated. Case in point? This simple dress by Old Navy: It's a jersey shift with a grosgrain ribbon belt - nothing special, really - but the cowl neck gives it instant lady-like appeal. A perfect fall layering piece.

$24.95 at Old Navy

Dress of the Day: Gap Cowl Neck Sweater Dress

Maybe it's the weather here in southern California -- cold, gray, and rainy. Or maybe it's the mood I'm in. Whatever it is, I am feeling extremely "home-y" It's all I can do to get back into bed with a cup of hot coffee and a few magazines.

However, there are things to be done, and since I do have to go out into the world, the Cowl Neck Sweater Dress from Gap is pretty good motivation. The knit dress is made from a cotton and angora blend, has long sleeves with exaggerated cuffs, and a ribbed cowl neck. The hem hits right at mid thigh, so if it were a "usual" warm day in LA, I'd just wear the dress as is, but since the weather is as it is, I am thinking some charcoal heather tights and boots.

The Cowl Neck Sweater Dress is $69 at Gap.

Dress of the Day: Blissi Sweater Dress

It's tough to get dressed in the morning these days in LA. Normally, when the mercury hovers in the 60-70 degree range all the time, I just wear a couple of light layers. However, earlier this week it was so bitter cold that is snowed (yes! snow in southern California!), and now, it's warm enough to confuse me into April.

No matter, because a sweater dress is still appropriate for January, and the Blissi Sweater Dress by Diesel is heavy enough to be warm, but with a deep cowl neck, won't feel stuffy if the temperature rises a little. The cable-knit dress made of wool, alpaca, and nylon, features a fold-over U-neckline, tonal pompoms and a metal Diesel logo plaque on the back collar.

Available at Nordstrom for $240.

Dress of the Day: Cowl Neck Sweater Dress

Thursday is the new Friday.

At least in my world it is.

That means after work, I like to twirl about town with girlfriends as if it were Friday night. Since we really do have to work the next day, the night starts and ends early. No time to go home and change! The Cowl Neck Sweater Dress by Isaac Mizrahi for Target is perfect because its 3/4 length sleeves make it functional at the desk, and the cowl neck sits up modestly. However, once the clock hits five, you can pull that cowl neck down on either side and make it off-the-shoulder. Smokin'. Change your conservative pearl earrings to a pair of sparkling chandeliers, throw your cute little ballet flats into the back seat and slip into your leopard print stiletto heels. You are ready to turn the town upside down!

At least, until 10:30.

The Cowl Neck Sweater Dress is $39.99 at Target.
