The Cardigan: We wrote an earlier post about cardigans, in which we reiterated that if anyone can make a cardigan look like a million bucks, it’s Ms. O herself! Over the years, we’ve seen her sporting fashionable yet affordable cardigans from everyday brands such as J. Crew with such grace and elegance that we’ve had to follow suit and restock our own cardigan collection. From declining these in bright and unexpected colors, to merchandising them with belts and brooches, Ms. O. Has shown us that our best jackets and blazers ain’t got nothing on a well-worn cardigan. For our pick of the day, we’ve selected this J. Crew  “Jackie” fuschia cardigan now on sale for $49.99!

For our pick today, we’ve selected this White House Black Market structured Sheath. It’s $160, and the colorblock pattern and slimming effect will leave you wanting for more…

The Elegant Coat: Remember President Obama’s Inauguration Day? We sure do, and one of the things we remember most is that blue topper Ms. Obama sported walking the streets of DC alongside her husband. Since we’ve seen her, countless are the ways women around the world now wear a coat. From the fashionista’s belted version, to the more colorful versions of traditional toppers, Ms. O. has given us some of the best fashion options. For our pick today, we’ve selected this Kristen Blake Lambswool coat available at Nordstrom. It’s on sale for $144.98, and the color is just amazing! Besides, the classic cut is impeccable, and offers many an opportunity to merchandise it with an elegant brooch, a statement belt, or just a great bag!

Happy birthday Ms. O.!
