When I came out of the dressing room and saw the looks on my friends faces, I knew it was meant to be.

They make me feel a little bit like Audrey Hepburn! As you know, I love my cardigans and I might be a little predictable when it comes to wearing them, but a cardigan is such a classic element to your wardrobe! How do you style a little black dress?
