I realized you asked for photos as well, so here we go... These may not be cutting edge in terms of fashion, but I hope they fall into the wearable basics realm rather than hippy-dippy. And sorry in advance for the poor pictures/lighting!
1) Tri-color cowl neck. Super easy pattern, knit in alpaca, so very warm, medium weight. It had a neutral and several colors, so I wear it over any neutral sweater or long sleeve tee.
2) Asymmetric shawl, bias knit, sock-weight. It's probably five feet long from end to end, but thin enough that I drape it around several times as I would a scarf. I wear it like I would wear any lightweight scarf.
3) Lightweight open-front cardigan. I usually wear it as a cropped cardi over dresses, but it works over a tank too. A good basic piece. As a petite, I liked that I could control how long I wanted it overall and in the arms.
One of the reasons I like more basic patterns for things such as sweaters as it's easier to get the garment to fit properly. Needle size and number of pattern repeats are less important for a simple pattern like this than they are with lace, because you can just stop whenever it hits your desired measurements.
This is probably way more information than you wanted, so I'll end here!
