We've all been there...the cardigan that makes us look dumpy and frumpy.  This rings more true when you break out the ever-so wonderful long cardi.  

They can be tricky and will only work with certain things to certain events so choose wisely what you wear them with or what you wear them to.  

Long cardi goals:  Make it look intentionally put together vs. the "thrown together look".  It should add a sense of cohesion to a your look. 

TIPS 

•  Take your height into consideration.  You don't want a cardigan that is touching the floor.  Find a good length past your knee and go with it. 
• Pair your cardigan with body forming pieces so you don't look bulky.  The cardigan adds enough flow and bulk that you don't want too much going on. 
• Avoid sweater on sweater materials.  Go for a chambray shirt, cotton or silk.  

CASUAL CHIC 

The more casual your outfit, means the more important adding accessories on is.  We love this look because the scarf and hat make the outfit stand out more.  
 

 

WEEKEND WARRIOR

This look is the perfect weekend look for any event.  It's casual yet dressy.  Over the knee boots give it a polished off look.
 

  

WORK GIRL WORK

Wearing a long cardi to work your ultimate goal is to look prim.  Fitted slacks and a button up are always a good choice to achieve this look. 
 

Fashion Friday: {2015 Trend Re-Cap}

With 2015 coming to an end, we've been working on what we want to launch for spring/summer 2016 (hard to believe in 30 degree weather...we know) and it got us reminiscing over our favorite trends from 2015.  Fashion is a wonderful world of trends coming and going and even sometimes coming back in style with different twists...and this is why we can't get enough of what will be "in the new."  

What was your favorite style from each season in 2015? 

Spring- Flare Fanatics  

Denim will never go out of style. EVER. And like we were saying, trends can always come back in style.  Our inner 70's hippie love was thrilled to find out flares were going to be the next big thing. 

Summer- On Island Time 

Florals are usually huge during summer but this year was all about the tropical prints.  Big leafy modern colored prints were all over pants, dresses, rompers, etc.  The ultra chic looks made us feel like it was time for a vacation.

 

Fall- Color of the Year {Marsala}  

Pantone's color of the year was definitely a hit in the fashion world.  The deep wine color was so universal and could work with almost any hair color or skin tone. 

Winter- The return of the turtleneck 

Another trend that came back into style was the cozy turtleneck.  Why we fell in love with them {again} was all new silhouettes, styles and cuts.  The new modernized sweater could now be worn for style and not just warmth.
