When I hear "sweatshirt dress," right away I think of something from Juicy Couture or perhaps Hard Tail. It's a dress that's really just a very long sweatshirt hoodie that is more a piece to throw on when you have to run out on the fly for an errand, not something you'd actually wear to...dinner.

However, Beau Soleil has changed my view on sweatshirt dresses. The company is "green," and uses organic cotton in Beau Sweat, their dark gray sweatshirt dress pictured at the right. The dress features wide, three-quarter length sleeves, pockets on the front, and a sexy deep V neck.

Available for $295.
