There’s not much in this world that’s quite like pulling on a warm and cozy sweater that’s been made for you by one of the people closest to your heart. But as times wear on, intimate keepsakes wear down and the once cozy and sentimental fashions created by our loved ones cease to be a realistic wardrobe option.If you want to rediscover the magic of a handmade piece without putting in the time and effort it takes to make your own, try finding a sweater with large and loose cable knits or patches of colorblocking to recreate a one-of-a-kind design. The long tonal shaded cardigan from Catherine’s is a sublime example of how a modern, manufactured sweater can be made to look like a handmade, original piece.
It’s no secrets that one of the sexiest things a women can wear is a plain and simple men’s button down shirt. Let’s be real: it doesn’t even really have to be a men’s button down.

But let’s say we added an orange or pink scarf around the neck or a thick gold belt around the waist. These simple and light additions can take an outfit to the next level.
One of the most rewarding experiences this world has to offer are the great deals that can be found on quality clothing at Salvation Army Thrift Stores. While the heavy duty sweaters and coats, snow boots, and other Army apparel at the SA make it a definite must visit on Winter’s shopping agenda, the clothes are not always the most flattering to the female physique.
You have to have something to keep you warm besides just a jacket. I like variety, which is why I enjoy
Sweaters. I love them. I can’t get enough of them. But once I’ve worn the cardigans and the pullovers, I’m pretty much out of options. Well, not if the people at Woman Within have anything to do with it.
