We love this LBD (little black dress) from Gap ($78.00)!

The empire waist will give the illusion of a longer leg line! If you feel a bit too 'showy' in the strapless dress, top with a cropped white cardigan OR a sparkly cropped black cardigan!

Top with a clutch, cocktail ring (see our earlier post), silver or black beaded necklace, and peep-toe shoes for a night out, winter formal, or a holiday cocktail party!

Cardigan - A Fall Wardrobe Staple (And the Best Way to Wear!)


This cardigan from New York and Company for $27.50 is a great fit for our pleated mini-skirt below! Cardigans are great with business attire for chapter meetings and casual!

Here is how to find the correct fit without looking like grandma:
(1) Make sure the shoulder seam does not go past your shoulders, if it does, it is too big in size.
(2) Wear with a thinner layer shirt or button up shirt. A thick sweater will look out of proportion.
(3) Button a cardigan for a sleeker finish.
(4) For a funky look, top with chunky jewelry!

This cardigan is available in 7 colors!
