THE INSPIRATION

You know that weeklong getaway you took last year? You know, theone where you stayed in a cozy cottage wrapped in soft cashmereblankets while you watched white, glistening snow fall out outside?

If you took that same trip this year, what would you pack? Well,there are a few key pieces such as asymmetrical cut wrap jackets,high-low tunics, maxi-length cardigans and oversized dolmansweaters will be a staple in every woman's vacationing suitcase.

But let's face it, some of us don't have the time for week-long, oreven weekend getaways, so imagination transcended intoreenactment is crucial. The coupling of a shift midi-dress with ankleboots creates that soft, effortless, minimal look that is alwayssomehow achievable when escaping to a new land.

Throwing on additional sweater layers is made simple andfunctional with oversized silhouettes and more-than-deliciousfabrics. Color stories complement each other, as greys and neutralstake center stage.
