I made sure to keep the winter wardrobe basics like a turtleneck, sweater and cardigan— and today I’m going to show you how you can style them 8 different ways.

My fuscia sweater, black turtleneck & scattered pearl cardigan that I styled are all from a shop I recently found out about called Common Assembly. When I heard about this brand & their mission, their commitment to pay fair wages & benefits to their employees, and provide healthy & safe working conditions, I was so excited to partner with them and highlight their shop on my page.

Their motto is “the people behind the clothes are just as important to us as the women who wear them” and I couldn’t agree more! Not only do I support their mission, but their pieces are so versatile & can be styled so many different ways. They also gave me a discount code to share with my readers! “DOROTHYPRO20” will get you 20% off anything on their site. Let’s give this small shop who is “doing it right” some love. How cute are these finds?!
