Dear Girlfriends -

Fashionistas we all feel the change in weather during the morning commute; come on and admit it! 

But I have GREAT newsCardigans can be a fun and versatile fashion accessory for the transition of the season.  If comfort is the ultimate luxury, what could be more better than a slip-it over/under-everything, prep-school-inspired knit.

A partially-buttoned sweater combined with equally soft pieces can look effortlessly casual. But don’t overdo the layers. Not only does casual suddenly look forced but you’re likely to start peeling off pieces in most overheated interiors.

As the first signs of fall, search for a lighter fashion piece instead of bringing a heavy coat out of storage, why not throw on a stylish cardigan? The cardigans of today are not like grandma’s sweaters but have a style and flair all their own. Plus, they’re so versatile! Wearing a cardigan can take you from a casual day to an evening out at a restaurant with great panache.

You can really expand the depth and versatility of your wardrobe without spending money by layering items you already have. A cardigan provides the perfect finishing touch for that layered look. Just one cardigan can multiply your fashion options many times. Try belting a long cardigan over a skirt and silk top. Wear a long, loose one over your favorite black dress.
