Take your look from day to evening in this subtly shimmering ensemble.

CROP TOP AND COWL SET
Fine-weight alpaca yarn in a lacy rib pattern provides warmth without bulk for a sleekly flattering silhouette. I accented the neckline with metallic yarn and created a matching silver cowl to add a little glam to the look.
