For those of us who feel that living in our swimsuit at the beach might be a good plan to beat the heat (100 degree temperatures, anyone?), here are a few ways to make that idea a fashion statement for fall -- while using a bit of pin-up sensibility. After all, your legs look great from all that yoga and long walks on the beach. Here are some ways to show them off while wearing some key statement bespoke reincarnated appliqué cashmere sweaters for the fall.

The Cardigan:
One of the most versatile sweaters ever, a cardigan can be worn by anyone at any age. Perfect to throw on when its chilly and slipped off when its not. This rose appliqué sweater has just a hint of vintage sensibility worn in a modern way with high-waist bottoms and open-toe lace-up boots.
