Mikel queried:
“I bought this dress around Christmas -my husband was in love!- and haven’t been able to style it quite to my liking! I have to have my shoulders covered (religious reasons) but I don’t want to ruin the lovely silhouette with a frumpy cardigan! Please help! Both my husband and I would be very grateful!”

Cardigan Empire Answered:
Going under rather than over will ensure you don’t lose your silhouette. Pair it with a bright blouse and keep the collar high (ie clasp every last button). Beyond prim, the high positioned hue will provide maximum compliment to your sweet complexion.
Feather light and supple, a long sleeve will feel simple yet deliberate. And don’t be shy of color, pattern, or texture.
Cropped and boxy may not seem ladylike, but the volume will actually allow your waist to remain visible. Look for capes with texture, wools, houndstooth, everything nubby and opulent.

Don’t know if youa re still doing these for “free” – but if so can you tell me what to wear with Anthro’s Soft Structured dress in Navy? I fell in love with the colors so I spurged on it, but I never wear it becasue I am not sure what to wear! I might have to sell it on ebay!

Although that is a lovely dress, I wasn’t the one who submitted that query, I had a blouse. 馃檪
