Wardrobe Wednesday..The Power of a Good Cardigan

I have an unhealthy obsession with cardigans. They are the perfect layering piece to turn a drab outfit into a fab ensemble.

A plain T shirt and a pair of jeans gain new life with the addition of a cardigan, and some jewelry. Cardigans offer flexibility and an endless range of design options for people who may be a little style challenged. We all have accessories and shoes. That’s all it really takes to pull off a polished look with a cardigan.

 

Don’t be fooled by how plain they look on the hanger. The possibilities are endless with just a T-shirt, jeans and a cardigan. Have fun, punch it up with a touch of color or keep it classic with a solid color and accessorize. The other killer thing about cardigans is they are easily found in low cost retailers such as TJ Maxx and Target. I have had a ton of luck finding them at the Goodwill and other thrift and consignment stores. Next week we’ll talk about how to kind those killer deals at the thrift store!

Do you love cardigans? Have you been missing out on their potential to build a great outfit?

    I love cardigans too. You’re right a plain tee shirt and jeans can go from drab to fab with a cardigan, accessories and heels. It’s my go to outfit when I feel I have nothing to wear or just want to be casual.

    A cardigan is definitely a must have piece in my closet. I’m going to have to hit up the local goodwill and find me a few cardigans. I never have any luck. :-( I love the outfits you created.

    Love them and that’s very odd for me I need them to cover my arms with shirts without sleeves or with short sleeves. I actually have a few in some different colors too *shocking* I know. Cute outfits

    I’m a cardigan/ shrug fiend. I actually need more basic T’s to layer because I have enough cardigans to be an elderly man :)
