    3. A rib knit turtleneck so you always have a chic staple on-hand.

    14. An animal print cardigan you'll want to pop on over everything, because — if you didn't know — leopard print is a neutral.

    21. An open-shoulder sweater that really should have gotten a shout-out in Alanis Morissette's "Ironic," — maybe you should write her a letter about it and include a pic of your great sweater.

    22. A patterned cardigan in leopard print or polka dots — or better yet, just get one of each!
