A few days ago, I pulled out an old black and white patterned dress from the back of my closet – and aimed to wear it to a party in chilly San Francisco. Being a city girl, I normally opt for a simple black cardigan when I put on a dress, but that day I decided to dress it up to a season appropriate color, salmon and then  two days later – since the dress is my favorite – I chose a sort of mulled wine tone and I couldn’t be happier.

I know this concept isn’t a new idea, or one I discovered but I thought I might share it just in case you have an amazing ensemble hanging in your closet, that could use a refreshed look with cardigans
