How to transfer a sweatshirt dress into elegant dress

Hello, guys! How have you been? Last weekend, we enjoyed part of our day on the beach, but we not could stay too long because my lovely husband needed to go back to his studies. Such a nerd! It was a gorgeous day though - upper 70s! I have been cleaning my closet and getting ready for spring weather. A week ago, I got to review a cute dress from Urban Finesse. I decided to show how to transform a sweater dress (that cost only $57) into an elegant dress for going out. It was super simple. I just added a belt and over knee boots. And of course, I chose my new mini bag from Nicole Lee. (hurry up, it is on SALE!)

When I pulled everything together, I was very with happy how did it all looked together. What do you think?
