Steal That Look, Forty Weeks Style: Minnie Driver’s layering in luxury

by Julia Beck, of Forty Weeks Welcome Minnie Driver to the Bump Class of ‘08! Minnie is just about at the top of my adorable list right now! Her look is easy, down to earth and comfortable with an obvious nod to quality and luxury. Here she is out walking her dog in LA, in a soft gray cashmere wrap cardigan. Layering in luxury is an ideal strategy for the rainy, cool days of April as well as summer evenings and even into fall. So, with spring well on the way and with April showers in the forecast (soon to be May flowers), let’s steal Minnie Driver’s layering in luxury look. 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
