You may recognize #1 as the same sweater from
this post. It was originally $110, I found it when it was marked down to $49.99, and now it's $22.41. Am I tempted? Oh, yes. So tempted. Also, I feel like I should tell I get a lot of my sale info from
The (Chloe) Conspiracy. I love her Deal(s) of the Day posts -- they're an excellent resource.
What do you think? What's your favorite sale item? Do you think I should go for the sweater? Leave a comment!
I was reading my
Lucky magazine last month, or maybe the month before, I can't remember...
{... as a quick sidenote, I don't subscribe to Lucky; Lucky just inexplicably arrives in my mailbox each month. I don't know how, I don't know why, and should I choose to subscribe to a fashion magazine, it probably wouldn't be Lucky. But hey, as long as it keeps coming, free magazine, right? ...}
... and I saw a short blurb about layering cardigans. That is, wearing two cardigans. More than two I think might be overstyled and overwarm. And it's supposed to be a thing right now. Like, a style thing. That stylish people do.
The blurb says: "Prim, '50s-ish sweaters come off as cool and hipsterish when you wear two at a time. To keep the silhouette streamlined, go for middle-to-lightweight (but not sheer) versions that are cut on the slender side. Contrast trims and prints for an arty effect."
I wasn't sure how I felt about this becoming a trend, until I went to the
Ann Taylor website one day and saw:
These ladies... er... actually, just the one lady twice... is definitely layering her cardigans, and she most definitely looks cute. {Can someone explain to me how to fix my hair like that??} I want both of those outfits right now. Right now, please.
So what do you think? How do you feel about this trend? Might you layer cardigans in the near future? Do you already layer your cardigans? And do you know if it's possible for me to fix my hair like the pretty lady in the pictures if it only comes down to my collarbone?
I am wanting this sweater right now:
It's down from $110 at
Ann Taylor. The puffed sleeves, the satin bow, the chiffon overlay, the delicate pink color -- I love how soft and feminine it is.
