The center outfit is a work-appropriate look that is great for a day when versatility is key. You can easily transition from your desk to a lunch with clients to drinks with your coworkers. This is the only outfit that has a bright pop of color and because of the high contrast, I did not add in any other prints or patterns.

Like this look? Get the cardigan:

Ann Taylor Draped Open Front Cardigan $59.99

Banana Republic Cashmere Open Cardigan $225
This is the final installment of the Thanksgiving style session I did with my mom. I left this piece for last because the outfits I created with it were some of my mom's favorites from the collection and that is what this is really all about--loving what you wear everyday. She bought this long, open cardi and, although she absolutely loves it, she was still struggling to get use out of it. Nearly every piece in this post is an item that had been relegated to the back of her closet, so I'm happy to find use for all of these hidden gems!

The dress was an easy choice to layer with this cardigan because of the similar color palette, but the sleeve length was what really sold me on the outfit. The pattern peeks out at the wrists which is my favorite place to have a pop. A cardigan this long can easily overwhelm both an outfit and a figure, so I belted it in every iteration. Always make sure that your clothes are working for you and not the other way around. A couple great belts can keep any wayward item in line!

The above outfit could work just as well with a pair of denim or colored cords for a comfy, but chic weekend look. Looking fabulous doesn't have to be difficult--this is just as easy as throwing on yoga pants and a sweatshirt! Invest in a fun flat, a great riding boot or even a fashionable sneaker to finish off the ensemble.

Paired with the winter white trousers, you can wear this to dinner, to an afternoon wedding or as the best dressed parent at the school winter concert this year!
