Cranberry Season

Cranberries are so good for you! Did you know they have Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Vitamin B-6, and Magnesium? The moment I saw this cranberry-colored cardigan, I knew it would be good for me too.

I have to admit I have gone a little crazy for J.Jill items lately. Their December collection includes so many items that fit with my personal style.

I have already worn this cardigan a couple of times. The color is so rich, and the fabrication is exquisite. I can literally wear it with almost everything in my wardrobe.

It is shown on the J.Jill site with a turtleneck in the same color, but I love that it looks good with almost every top I own.

Angel Cardigan

Sometimes leggings, a cardigan, and a tank are all you need to look polished and put together on a busy morning.

The leggings are made from a thick supportive dense knit, and they have a shaping waistband that I love. I wear them often for these reasons.

The cardigan has a great shape and texture. I received many compliments on this look, and it was very comfortable all day.

The necklace is by Erica Lyons from Belk. The tank is from Stein Mart by Peck and Peck. The bag is by Ralph Lauren via T.J.Maxx. The shoes are by Gianni Bini from Dillard's.

A Regal Cardigan

Lightweight, thin layers can be warm and flattering.

I am always happy to find a new source for stylish elements that add a different silhouette to my wardrobe.

When the Project Manager for the designer, Ronen Chen, contacted me about featuring one of his pieces, I found it difficult to choose. All of his items are so elegant and timeless.

When this cardigan arrived, I knew right away that it was going to be worn many times. The details, the neutral plum color, and the perfect fit make it a great choice for staying warm in style.

When I wear leggings, I always wear a sweater or jacket that falls below my bottom. This Amber Knit Cardigan fits the requirement perfectly.

A Week of Sweaters

Our evening temperatures are now dipping into the low sixties, so I am starting to see women wearing jackets and sweaters when I run early morning errands.

I love the look of lightweight layers whenever possible. Summer clearance racks are a great place to find those featherweight sweaters that can be worn almost all year round. Add cute shoes, a scarf or long pendant necklace, sunglasses, and a nice bag to look great for any errand, even if you start out with a tank top and jeans or khaki pants.

Sweater from Chico's

This week I had the last of my summer Doctor appointments. I get all the tests we should have done at this stage of life in July because I am too busy to sit still that long at any other time of the year. 

As I was waiting for my turn in each office, I kept looking up to see women studying me. I noticed that almost all the women I saw in the near sixty age group wore a "uniform" of Mom-jeans, a dull-colored tee shirt, and shoe muffins (tennis shoes). I was wearing the first outfit idea above yesterday. I will be turning 57 next month, but I refuse to wear the "uniform"!
