[with a z] ...

i absolutely love the styles for this fall and winter. there is such variety available in line, fabric, and overall design. for once, it seems like there is something that almost anyone with any body type of any age can wear.

my personal favorites are the sweater dress, tunic and/or cardigan.  i have bought two sweater type tunics and they are so comfortable and hide all my trouble spots! however, i have noticed that the size has to be right. a bit too small and an unsightly silhouette appears; a bit too big and one can easily look pregnant!  being short, the 3/4 sleeve looks best on me t-shirt and long sleeves tend to emphasize it. sleeveless also works on me well. if you are thin, the thicker sweater knits will look great on you but for someone a bit more curvy, i recommend the thinner knits.

besides comfort, one of my favorite things about tunics is that they can be so easily layered; perfect for the changing weather here in houston. i love to pair them with leggings, tights and even jeans. a smooth pant works best so as to avoid zipper and/or button closure bumps .they are also great with skirts but i think you need to be tall or at least  of average height to pull that off.

here are a few that really like. there are so many that i just added the first few that caught my eye.
