Striped Cardigan

Sometimes you need time for an item to grow on you and sometimes you see a new arrival and think, “Mine!”  That second one sums up my feelings on this striped cardigan from LOFT.  Between the stripes, longer length and draped front, I was immediately on board.

So here’s the skinny on the striped cardigan:

LOFT is pretty good about running promotions regularly so if you ever spot a new arrival you like, wait for a sale.  Right now, all tops and sweaters are buy one, get one half off — including this striped cardigan.  While I’m a fan of bold color, the neutral stripes in this cardigan immediately caught my eye.  Wanting to really let it have it’s moment, I opted to wear it with my cream cowl neck sweater from SheIn.  The sleeveless sweater is longer so I did a front tuck to keep from overwhelming my frame.

The accessories make the outfit:

The cream, gray and black of this striped cardigan make it easy to style with pieces already in your closet and even easier to accessorize.  Since I was wearing a big cowl neck, I kept things simple and layered two necklaces from Francesca’s.  They do a great job of having a huge variety of fashion jewelry that reflects the biggest trends while still being affordable.  Case and point: this new beaded strand necklace that’s just $26!  For this outfit, I reached for my gold chevron pendant necklace as my longer necklace.  This black velvet choker can be worn looped twice with a bow in the front but when I couldn’t get it to cooperate {#typical}, I opted to double it up and hide the tie in the back of my striped cardigan.  My accidental, double choker look is surprisingly chicane definitely worth recreating.
