    Need a scarf that is easy? This one buttons and comes in a bunch of colors (no need to buy the hat, too, unless you want to).

    Plaid is popular and this color combination looks great on many people.

    This color is beautiful on nearly everyone. The pattern is not so overpowering that it wears you and the sleeves can be long or short. Plus, it's long enough to wear with skinny jeans.

    Such a sweet look with daisies on the hem. This is for someone who is joyful and lighthearted -- not so much for someone dynamic and intense. That said, the white might not be everyone's first choice, but it's pretty for a few brave souls!

    A little more drama. Cut close (but not overly tight) to the body.

  • Ginger B. on Sep 28, 2015

    When you want a little subtle texture and 3/4 sleeves -- definitely for someone who wants cozy but tends to run a bit on the warm side.

    Love the ruffles and it's so nicely fitted (without being too tight) to her body.

    This orange shade is a bit tricky to pull off (redheads, grab it!), but it has some fun detailing with the combination of the stripes.

    For someone who loves delicate, feminine styles. Others will fade away in this. But, great length to wear with skinny jeans.

    If you love bold florals, this sweatshirt is fun! Plus, I LOVE that she is wearing dramatic earrings with it. Why not!

    A sweatshirt coat. Cozy and practical--and this year's popular color (not good on everyone).

    Love the combination of the more delicate print with the stripes at the sleeves and hem.

  • Ginger B. on Sep 28, 2015

    A slightly futuristic approach to a sweatshirt. Not for everyone since this is worn closer to the body and definitely makes a statement. But, if you long for the comfort of a sweatshirt but want sophistication, too, have fun with this one (plus these colors are great on lots of people).

    This color is gorgeous, especially on someone with darker features and, of course, it's perfect if you love funky! I like the way the seam under the bustline is curved.

    Similar to the olive green one above, but at a much lower price point. The teal is a great color for many skintones and, of course, there is black.
