Yesterday I had an appointment with a personal stylist at Nordstrom, and she was terrific. She found a taupe cardigan by Nic & Zoe to layer over a couple of tunics that I don't wear as often as I'd like, because I didn't seem to have the right layering pieces to keep warm!

She had me try a short black cardigan over one of the tunics, too, which I thought was a great idea; I had a black cardigan at home. I did buy two of the short, 3/4-sleeve cardigans in fun colors, though: orange--a color I wanted to add just a touch of to my Spring wardrobe-- and cobalt, a color I like but don't have a lot of. The cobalt one goes with a gorgeous scarf I also bought yesterday.

Here are the photos:

1&2: taupe sweater (Nic & Zoe) over peasant tunic (made by me; fabric is a soft, floaty sweatery knit), charcoal skinnies (Halogen), graphite booties (Paul Green)

3&4: taupe sweater (Nic & Zoe) over diagonal-layer tie-dye print tunic (made by me), black leggings, and graphite booties (Paul Green)

5: orange 3/4-sleeve cardi (Halogen) over mixed-print tee (made by me), Paige Skyline straight-leg jeans, black ballet flats (Gentle Souls)

6: peasant tunic (same as in 1&2), paired with black cardi (Banana Republic, several seasons ago), Paige Skyline straight-leg jeans, black ballet flats (AGL)

7: cobalt 3/4-sleeve cardi (Halogen), silk/viscose scarf/wrap

I'm happy with how I did on my shopping trip! Not sure how I'll wear the scarf/wrap. A lot of my scarves go under-utilized, despite how beautiful I find them. Any suggestions?

Thanks for looking. Thoughts and comments welcome!
