Reader Question - What to Wear with Grandma Cardi?

ReaderQuestion

I need help before I commit another fashion faux pas! I just inherited this sweater from my grandma and I can’t seem to make it work without looking to old lady-ish any ideas?

Lovi - Thanks for the question and I love that you included a picture - it makes things so much easier! I don't think it looks to old lady-ish at all, and in fact, I am picking up on a classic Chanel-esque vibe from it. While there are many ways you could wear this (including pairing it with a skirt or layered over a dress), here are a couple:

Nicely done as usual - you know, this cardi looks like it could also work belted.

That black and white look would be so chic!

Someone, I totally agree a belt would work, but know I can be a bit belt crazy. Sometimes I try to refrain from showing belts as I know they don't work for everyone!

Thanks, ladies!
