Ask Anya & Lara's Look for Less: Work Ready Outfit

"Insider" stylist Anya Sarre is bringing us another one of Lara Spencer's fabulous looks for less!

 

In today's episode, she brings you Lara's crisp, business casual look. Read below to see Anya's answers to your fashion inquiries and keep those questions coming!

Q: Where is your big gold ring from?    

A: Thanks for noticing. My gold ring is a flower from designer Helen Ficalora. She makes great charms that I wear a lot as well. Check out her Web site -- www.helenficalora.com

Q: Can you wear short-sleeved cardigans with long-sleeve button-downs or T-shirts under them?

A: The answer is, not really. Long-sleeve cardigans can have long-sleeve underpinnings, but short-sleeve cardigans need a short-sleeve blouse, camisole or shift dress underneath. This way, you won’t have the added bulk of a sleeve under your sweater! No one wants to add bulk to their arm. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule -- you could rock a very thin v-neck long-sleeved tee with a short-sleeved v-neck cardigan over with the sleeves pushed up…for a more casual look, but proceed with caution!

Q: What color shoes would you wear with a cranberry-colored dress to a wedding?

A: You are so ahead of the game! I just did a tip about the “berry family” being the “must-have” colors for fall -- raspberry, cranberry and blueberry -- so I love that you asked about cranberry. Try a pair of light gold, peep-toe shoes with a cranberry dress to be a fashionista at the wedding -- and don’t forget your gold clutch!

Q: This segment is the best part of this Web site. Keep up the good work - I watch every day.

A: Thank you so much! That means the world to me! Tell all your friends about “Ask Anya” and keep the great fashion questions coming!
