Yes, of course there are some people who can’t or won’t wear red or pink. What to do for this hearts & flowers holiday?

Well, beiges are always a smart alternative when you don’t want to go the black route (though I will be showing some of those again soon, too). This one is a beautiful, glowing mocha that flatters like crazy!

The fabric is unusual – some kind of rayon or blend with a nice drape and gorgeous sheen. Wide scoop necks and nipped waists are favorites.

Although not a set, I might combine this little lace-overlay jacket with it for some venues. A simple cashmere cardigan, beautiful shawl or a true vintage fur would all work nicely.

Of course, in the frigid, below zero night temperatures common in many places right now, a more substantial topper will be necessary. No worries, Agent Cupid, I’ve got you covered …
