[Original image unavailable: Michael Stars Cashmere Blend Asymmetrical Open Vest]For me, a woman in her fifties, a frequent fashion challenge is how to look sophisticated without looking stuffy. One of the easiest solution is to wear something with draped styling. Draping may date back to Ancient Greece and Rome, but it's minimal style--usually in monotones and void of embellishments--give it a very modern look. The tops above and below are all by Michael Stars. Until tomorrow, at least, many of the clothier's garments are up to 60% off. For example, the Michael Stars Cashmere Blend Asymmetrical Open Vest above has been reduced from $148 to $74. Pair this vest with a 3/4 sleeve T-shirt and jeans or slim skirt for a very un-stuffy look. Below are a few more styles, but visit the Michael Stars website for the entire selection.
