Do your coworkers keep the thermostat on "frigid" all day forcing you to put on bulky layers of old sweaters and jackets? It's time to break out of the rut! Take your wardrobe up a notch this season with a few new sweaters and jackets. You make these changes even on a tight budget if you follow these rules.
1. Look for neutral colors like this charcoal gray sweater from Focus 2000. You will get a lot more mileage out of your grays, blacks, beiges and browns because they will work so well with many items in your wardrobe. You can keep a dark gray one like this tie front design on the back of your chair with the confidence that it will go with just about anything you wear to work.
2. Look for high quality at a low price- examine fabric content and construction. Polyester blends have more durability while acrylic blends tend to pill and age prematurely. Cotton is the natural choice, but expect some shrinkage. Cashmere is great, but can be pricey. If you have the room in your budget, the investment is worth it. Focus 2000's tie front sweater is only $54, but it's a good weight and has stylish details. Tribal also has some fantastic tie and button front sweaters checking in at less that $100.
3. Don't be afraid to get the same sweater in multiple colors. If you like cardigans and your favorite store is having a buy 1 get 1 half off sale, then stock up! There's no shame in having the same sweater in more than one color as long as it isn't a Christmas sweater with appliqued elves and reindeer!
Every woman should have at least 2-3 reliable sweaters! Treat yourself to warm, cuddly sweater this season!
