A cropped cardi like Elizabeth's (Rebecca Herbst from "General Hospital") is a cute trend that's great for cooler weather.

Elizabeth and Jason are getting hot and heavy on "General Hospital," but that doesn't mean her style isn't still sweet. Here she pairs a pale pink tank with a berry-colored cropped short-sleeve cardigan -- a versatile layering piece to wear as the weather starts to cool. Here's how to get your own perfect shrunken sweater, inspired by Liz.

If you're digging the rich burgundy color, try Kohl's axcess Crochet Crop Cardigan in Wine. It's ribbed with short sleeves and has a button front like Elizabeth's.

Another great pick with a nice price is Fashion Bug's Smocked Waist Cropped Cardigan, which features ruffled elastic short sleeves, a v-neckline, and a smocked bottom for a fitted effect. http://www.fashionbug.com/pagebuilder/fashion_bug_product_page?nav=Junio...

To get the look in black, check out Charlotte Russe's Cropped Cardigan in Noir. Its shawl collar and cap sleeves are cool, and it stays put with a single button.
