Make a super soft coverup the focus of your fall wardrobe JENNIFER ESSES G et into the comfort zone with a chic cardi-coat. It’s the new statement outerwear choice that will take you through winter with ease. Layer up and wear over everything! Here a few notes on sweatering up: • For an alternative take, wear as a dress with opaques and ankle boots. • Every detail counts- look out for buttons, snug hoods and detachable collars. • Wear for evening over a fun party dress. • For a shortcut to smart style, cinch yours in at the waist and team with elbow length gloves. P.S. With the blaring news headlines of a sinking econ- omy very hard to ignore, I thought it wise to include budget swaps to these de- signer originals. Most are just as cute and stylish (if not more!) than their over priced counterparts. Fashion should be fun and make us feel good, but shouldn’t put us in debt!
