With everyone wearing the boyfriend cardigan these days its nice to know a few more ways to do it other than just throw it over some jeans. Here are a few more ways to do it and things to pair with it to mix things up.






1. Over a dress: I also paired a pendant and some flats with it.




2. With leggings: Here i put it over some metalic leggings and some one inch heels but it could look cute over anyother leggings too.



3. As a dress: i put it with some boho boots and a belt which you cant really see.




4. Over a skirt: at first i tried the cardigan over the skirt just for fun. But it ended up looking kinda cute! Then i put on some cute ankle boots, and voila! i had an outfit!




5. With jeans: In this pic Im just showing how you can dress up the plain 'ol cardigan and jeans look. I put on a metalic belt, a fendora, some oxford heels, and a gem stone necklace.
P.S. (Sorry the pics are out of order! Trouble with the layout)


Has anyone else noticed this year that all the clothes out this year only come in neutrals? Sure its great to have a lot of neutrals in your wardrobe that are easy to pair, but i need a little attitude, i like bright colors and fun patterns, and I'm just not seeing them this year. I don't know if it has something to do with the economy or what, but its starting to get on my nerves. Is it too much to ask to sell a hot pink sweater or a polka dot skirt?
Recently I have been wanting the must-have boyfriend cardigan and, of course, in a fun color or pattern. However this turned out to be a much more difficult find than i have originally thought. It took me a few MONTHS before i could find one in a color other than black, grey, brown, or navy.I finally settled for a cute rainbow striped one, which I'm happy with, but should it have really been that hard to find? All I'm asking for here is a little something different, that's not blah, like everything else seems to be lately.
However, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. I see these kind of things on the runway all the time but obviously they're a little out of my price range. The cheaper the better. However I'm not against a little splurge here and there, but lets keep it within reason. Any suggestions of where to get something unique? Or is the whole clothing market turning into one big neutral?
