Click continue reading to find out how you can get a look just like Minnie's!Here’s What to Keep in Mind When Stealing Minnie Driver’s Layering in Luxury Look Forty Weeks Style:*Stick to solids. A wrap or cardigan is always best as a solid, true hue (I am a huge fan of ivory, grey and chocolate for this look). A heathered knit is an option, but too much pattern takes away from the pure luxury of the look.*Infuse texture. Use exotic knits, crochet or other specialty treatments, nubby yarns and other woven/knit elements. *Shop wisely. This is one item will take you well through spring into summer nights and even into fall. Be willing to spend a bit here -- it is a piece that will serve you well, if chosen carefully!*Watch your weight. A cardigan that's too heavy is limiting and creates a bulky, unflattering look. A too thin cardigan will cost you a smooth line (and warmth, as well). *Embellish with layers. Layering pieces will help make the look -- consider monochromatic tones with jeweled or woven embellishments on an under-tank or tee for a polished, go-anywhere look. Bold, contrasting choices in layering give a distinctive day-time feel.*Choose cut wisely. Look for a cut that flatters and feels “in place”. Take a rear-view look and make sure you are wearing the cardigan at an appropriate length. *Keep it in rotation. You hear me say this a great deal -- wear this cardigan often and enjoy know
