So many cardigans



I probably have over 40 cardigans in my closet. I swear I have almost every color there is - yet every time I go shopping, I browse through the cardigan sections as if I need another. I'm not sure why I wear them so often... occasionally for work I'll put on a cropped jacket instead, but if I have my choice I stick with my favorite. Cardigans are just comfortable and you can add them to an outfit without sleeves to layer it for winter, or you can wear one in the summer to cover your shoulders. I'm going to go ahead and call this my biggest wardrobe staple. Mr. Rogers was definitely on to something.

  3. Love the combo a lot! The leo top and the splash of orange in your cardigan! You are absolutely right, cardigans are fabulous for layering in winter. :-)

  4. Okay you are going to have a heart attack (brace yourself) - I only have 1 cardigan in my entire closet. I know, I know...what is wrong with me?! Maybe it's just because I've never found ones as cute as yours! P.S. This was your Skyping outfit, right? I almost didn't recognize it without the popcorn! :)

  6. That's a beautiful cardigan - love the details. I figured out why cardigans are such a staple - because we're forced to buy sleeveless shirts. Have you ever noticed how many shirts are made sleeveless? And they're so cute! Printed, sequined, beaded, ruffled....so tempting. But then you buy it and figure out you can't wear it to work without a cardigan - hence the need for a multitude of cardis in every color and multiples of basic colors. :)

  7. Couldn't agree more! I'm obsessed I think, lol. I have my favorites in my closet and a huge box full under my bed. It's overboard but like you, I'm drawn to them. :) Love the color combo here!

  11. This is such a great work outfit! I love it! I have the opposite problem, I don't have enough cardigans. Everytime I think one would complete an outfit, I realize I don't have the one I need. #fashiongirlproblems You on the other hand, look fantastic!

  16. And I thought I had a lot of cardigans, haha! I probably have between 20-25, and I love them too! They are the perfect thing to throw over any shirt when you are getting ready for work or on the weekends. This is an adorable outfit and I love the buttons on your cardigan!

  17. I have a few "true" cardis but I tend to lean towards chunkier or long versions. Loving your blouse in this pic! And the Mr. Rogers comment made me laugh. Love it

  24. I really am not much of a cardigan girl...now sweatercoats, that is a TOTALLY different story..I have 15 or so of those...I like wearing them instead of jackets lol.
    I love the ladylike look of a great cardi...maybe I need to invest in a few for spring.
    You look beautiful..love the entire look...classic and modern.

  25. I feel you about cardigans - I owe a pleathora of em. They're just so versatile - they can be worn during all seasons, and they add a pop of color to any outfit. You, Mr. Rogers and I have a lot in common! = )
