cardi craze.

via michael casker
in the past 24 hours northwest arkansas has been pounded with snowfall, all while tipping the thermostat at a balmy 15 degrees.  needless to say, the family is bundled up tight and working indoors today!

rain, shine or snow... i can always find an excuse to throw on a cozy cardigan.  while not a revolutionary idea, they're just perfect when i need to tone down a cocktail dress, polish up a spring tank or just inject a pop of color into a look.  it's also a sure fire way to insulate, without adding unnecessary bulk.

examples from a recent client session:

stylist trick of the trade:  'scrunch' the sleeve length to show off one of the smallest parts of the female body; the wrists.

go ahead and try a cardi - it will always have your back {pun intended}!

  4. such a great suggestion! I love showing off the wrists because whether they are bare or decorated with bracelets - you look more feminine right off the bat!
