What Goes With This? Giveaway

"My only brother's wedding is coming up in mid-August and I have been on the hunt for something to wear. I fell in love with this tapestry inspired skirt but haven't the slightest idea what to pair it with. Do you have any suggestions? I am a 5' 4" lower figure and am completely at the will of your fashion expertise."

And I thought to my self, "Self, people need to know what goes with what they already have and love?"  and then self said, "I've told you to do this at least a dozen times.  But go ahead listen to Miranda, why pay attention to me?"  Then self and I made up and we awarded Miranda our first winner of the first ever Cardigan Empire, What Goes With This contest: 

Here is her prize:

Gigham & Metallic

Gingham keeps the look from straying to fussy while metallics keep it from falling into casual. Its a balanced juxtaposition.

Mid-length Skirts by Anthropologie
Pumps by Adrienne Vittadini

Color Blocked

Bold colors equal fresh interpretation.  And each of these pieces could be easily remixed into an everyday wardrobe.

Pumps by Miz Mooz

Tribal Glamour

When mixing and matching patterns, choose one dominant pattern and accent with simpler patterns.  In this ensemble we let the floral shine while the stripes and small animal print support.

And then we gave her alternatives...

Looky-Booky

Everyone deserves a friend to go shopping with. The Fashion Look Book is like a friend, that you keep in your purse, and has lots and lots of opinions. Good, tactfully phrased opinions. Opinions that will make you walk away from that clearance top that's shaped like a pillow case. Specifically the fashion look book tells you your body type, what colors you can wear, how to successfully clean your closet, how to buy a better wardrobe for less, and more. The fashion look book is kind of a know-it-all, but at least it's concise. The fashion look book loves you, it wants what's best for you. Trust the fashion look book.

The personalized Fashion Look Book begins with a virtual consultation to diagnose your fashion prescription. This information will be used to carefully constitute the rules of your empire.
