Cardigan love, part deux

By kristen, 28 January, 2010, No Comment

Cardigans are versatile, you can dress them up or wear them casual–this is one piece that works overtime in your wardrobe!

I assembled 2 looks with these 3 basic pieces: a cardigan, a pair of skinny jeans, and a skinny belt.

Look #1:

The pieces on the left side of the base outfit are a more casual (but hip, of course) cardigan look, which is appropriate for everyday use. I’ve added a colorful, comfy camisole, a versatile scarf and some sweet studded boots. You don’t have to wear sneakers to be comfortable, ladies! There are plenty of cute flat-heeled boots around this season. If you’re in a warmer climate, add a pair of metallic flats for a similar look. These animal print ones are pretty cute!

Look #2:

The dressier look on the right pairs the original 3 pieces with a gorgeous pair of earrings, a colorful sleeveless blouse and a hot pair of ankle booties. This look is perfect for dinner out with your hubby or a girls’ night out. If you prefer flats or live in a warm climate, check out these studded gladiator sandals–they’re more dressy with the studs.

Price points on these pieces vary from affordable to some higher-end pieces. We advise spending more on the classic pieces, such as the cardigan, that will be in your closet for years to come.

It’s more about putting together pieces that look great together. You can find similar pieces at your favorite retailer at any price point

Items in this set:
Miu Miu Fine-knit wool cardigan, $580
Lillian Top, $35
Pink Striped Lace Camisole, 4 GBP
Cambridge Cigarette Skinny Jean – Women’s Clothing and Apparel – Chic…, $58
Strategia Stiefel Cleo, 460 EUR

The skinny on the Skinny… my take on the skinny jean trend

In general, I really like skinny jeans. They are a versatile piece of your wardrobe, once you figure out how to wear them. They are my go-to jeans in the winter. Tuck them in to boots with a cute tank and cardigan and you are set for a great casual, but put together look.

Ed Hardy Boots… Why?

Ed Hardy Boots…  Why?

What would possess you to buy these Ed Hardy Boots to begin with? Because they are warm? Ok, but there are a ton of other warm, less obnoxious boots out there. And, I bet you can find them for less than $135, which is the going price for these bad boys.

pl703944-00vliv01Do you love boots?  I DO! I have tall boots, short boots, pointed toe and rounded toe boots, high heel boots, riding boots and wedge heeled boots.  This Fall its all about  buckles, embellishments and the slouch! 

pl705008-00vliv01As you know, “must-have” boots can have a hefty price tag!  Have I got some news for you… one of my favorite shoe websites, Piperlime.com has a section featuring some great Fall boots all under the price of $100.   pl703064-01vliv01Piperlime.com also offers Free Shipping and Returns which makes shopping risk-free… but trust me ladies, you will not be returning any of these beautiful boots! 

I have posted pictures of some of my favorite boots that encompass new colors, hardware and of course, a little slouch! Any of these boots would look great with skinny jeans or a great Fall skirt or dress.  Hurry, these boots will not last!
