Aren't compliments just the best? When I receive a compliment on one of my outfits, I know I've gotten it right...especially when the compliment comes from a very stylish friend.
This ensemble garnered a couple of compliments which always leads me to contemplate, what makes this outfit cuter than others. I really think it comes down to fit! This outfit is comprised of pieces that are favorites, that I know fit well and that I don't constantly have to readjust (yay for working towards style resolution #3). Also, when I observe the outfits of other bloggers as well as those of women I see out and about, it's always the girls with the well-fitting clothes that strike me as the most well dressed. Knowing this, I'm working on being much more aware of fit so that I look as put together as I want to be.
This cardigan is one of my favorites since its neutral color works with just about any outfit and it fits well. For these reasons, it was a natural choice to layer over one of my favorite comfortable-yet-polished shirts. Throw-on a trendy tassel necklace and voilà, I feel put together!
To you, what makes one outfit cuter than another? What is elusive quality that makes an ensemble more "put together" than others?
