Today I decided that my must-purchase item for spring shall be a mustard yellow cardigan. I'm going to pair it with dark jeans and pencil skirts and colorful jewelry to make outfits like the one below (I put it together on polyvore.com )
So far, I've found candidates at chadwicks.com and landsend.com and will be monitoring both sites until one goes on sale. Until then, I'll make do with what I have and be a little braver with bright color.
However, if you're looking for a cheap Emma outfit right now, I've put together the pieces below for under $60. The sweater is $22.80, the skirt is $10, and the shoes are $28. Wear with pearls. :)
