ONE A SPACE DYE WRAP CARDIGAN (ON SALE $33): Love the space dye mix for Dara -- soft, variegated colors conspire with the horizontal stripes to emphasize her shoulders and balance her hips. The self-tie emphasizes the waist. Can also be worn with a wide belt for further polish and sophisticiation. For Dara, I recommend the green or purple to play up her eyes and hair. Sale item; sizes and colors will vary.

AUGUST SILK CARDIGAN (ON SALE $31): Dara wants an upgrade for her chocolate brown cardigan. Instead, I suggest this lighter brown cardigan. With a self-tie at the empire waist and a relaxed fit, it's perfect as a layer but also structured well for Dara's body shape. Also available in light navy. Sale item; sizes and colors will vary.

CHA CHA VENTE CARDIGAN (ON SALE $23): In purple or brown and belted, this is a great cardigan for Dara. Super-soft in a nice long longth, it allows Dara to create the wrap effect on her own. Sale item; sizes and colors will vary.

ANOTHER LINE SUEDE BELT (ON SALE $30): Play with the military trend without going too hard-edged with this studded belt made soft with suede. Buy in chocolate for the above cardigan in M/L to go with either the brown or purple version of the cardigan.

OLD NAVY WRAP CARIDGAN (ON SALE $40): This cardigan is the perfect layer for work. The cable trim makes it interesting, the wrap styling makes it perfect. Available in grey, cream, taupe and black. Any color will work for Dara except black. Sale item; sizes and colors will vary.

A NEW LOOK

GAP MOTO CARDI (ON SALE $40-$45): Dara likes to rock an edgy look on the weekend, so I recommend the softer navy for her coloring rather than black. The asymmetrical closure is interesting and calls attention away from her mid-section and up to the shoulder area. Dara should wear this sweater almost all the way closed -- open just above the bust. Available in navy and black. Sale item; sizes and colors will vary.

GAP SHIRRED SCOOPNECK ($20): The scoop on this tee is perfect -- high enough to provide coverage but deep enough to frame the face. The shirring along the neckline adds a feminine touch. For Dara, the hushed violet color will soften the navy sweater and pant and bring out the luminosity of Dara's skin. Available in 4 colors. XS-XXL.

JM COLLECTION MAGIC SLIMMING TROUSERS ($25): Just found these great trousers -- I'm wondering if you'd be willing to try them? I haven't seen them in person but they look great! At this price point, I would order them in chocolate and navy in your size. They come in two lengths -- short is 30" and regular is 32" which should just do it for you. Only 14 & 18 is left in the navy! Order fast!

BLOCH PATENT FLATS (ON SALE $123): Amazingly comfortable and well-made flats, Bloch is a great brand so it's fun for Dara to pick these up on sale. The lovely purple color underscores the navy and pink in her outfit without fading into the background. Since purple is the color of creativity, it's a nice color to work into a client meeting outfit.

BANANA SECRET CHARMS NECKLACE (ON SALE $16): This necklace is a nice change from Dara's other statement jewelry. It's quiet, but it speaks volumes. I love the feather charm -- it reminds me of dusting or spiffing up your home -- which is what Dara's business offers her clients. The gold plays up Dara's gorgeous skin; the soft feather detail makes it interesting.
