champagne slip dress Vintage 1930's Silk & Lace – Afterlife Boutique But the real beauty lies in its practicality Danijela Pearl Back Slip Dress

This Vince Camuto Herringbone Cardigan that comes in neutral colors (rich black and silver heather) is versatile in that you can layer it over a dress or jeans

I wore it to picnics on Primrose Hill, to dinner in Florence and (just once) to run into the surf at Cefal, Italy, holding the hem above the water and laughing, because I felt freer and more glamorous than an intern living in a shabby Zone 4 flat had any business feeling

This combination can be effortlessly adapted, allowing you to show your style and personality

Fellow Bostonians, join me next Wedensday, December 11th at the Newbury Street Ted Baker store for a little holiday shopping party (RSVP here )
