50s Sweetheart

A cardigan, a full skirt, a neck scarf.

Fifties sweetheart dressing is a defined waist over a full circle skirt, with knitwear buttoned to the top and a scarf at the neck. The palette is pastel rather than saturated, and the whole effect depends on the skirt having genuine volume — a straight A-line reads as a different decade.
