Three is the magic number for adding style to an outfit.  The cardigan is a third piece, and thereby has the power to transform whatever you put it over.  The cardigan can dress up or dress down your outfit.  And if you started with two pieces (i.e., a top and a bottom, or a dress and a belt) the third piece can add your own personal style to them.  So let’s take a look at how to use the amazing powers of a cardigan.
