The Buttoning of The Cardigan

So the other day I was trying on what seemed like thousands of outfits for two presentations I had to give. I was so frustrated becasue it was getting cold, and I wanted to be warm but did not just want to wear pants. I tried on a black pencil skirt with a blue top, and wanted something over the shirt...so I pulled out my ever trusty Cardigan! Well, I thought intially it looked great, then I decided to get ambitius so I buttoned the top button...immediately I could hear the "grandma" and "Momma Sam" comments come screaming through the mirror. So I quickly changed the button to a few from the top...still something did not seem right with this look...this is when I experience my revelation.

The chosen button on a cardigan to be buttoned completely says if you are going with the grandma look... or the chic teacher. That day I really tried hard to be chic teacher, and I really think I succeeded.

Plus, pair any great cardigan with some chunky jewlery in a contrasting color, and a scarf for an aditional layer and you are set! (The Cardigan in the Pic is a perfect example of aweome buttoning and great jewlery!) Anyone can wear a cardigan and look great. How can you wear your cardigan and create your own style???
