#2 | The Cardigan

The cardigan is another must-have sweater for all of us. It not only keeps us cozy and warm, but it also slims hips, butt, and thighs. It also adds polish to your overall look. I talk a lot more about the importance of the 3rd layer in this video. And you can see other cardigan outfit ideas here.

The black turtleneck(Similar) is a heavy hitter for me in the fall and winter. This one looks awesome alone or layered under a jacket. I love the balloon sleeve detail, which gives an otherwise basic piece a little something extra!

You will wear this gorgeous A.N.A. sweater (similar) curled up by the fire with your hot toddy or after a day of skiing. Side note, one of the benefits of living next to a ski trail, you never ski a full day. You ski for a couple of hours here and there. It’s awesome!
