  2. Oh, CC! It's like Cardi heaven! I love cardigans and wish I could get all of these! The stripes, the animal prints, the ruffles and the bows, the floral and the sheer black one - are all the ones I especially love!
    Hope you had a fabulous weekend, CC! xx

  3. I think long cardigans (boyfriend ones, if you will) is one of the best trends this year...I love it!

    ONLY problem is trying to pair it with a jacket...the longness hanging out from under a short jacket looks silly (IMO) so you have to wear a coat. Unless you plan it so that's the point (ie dark coat, bright cardy).

  4. Great post, Carrie, many details and information! I love those little toppers and I wear them daily because I hate air-condition so much!

  10. Happy Monday CC! I am a cardi-addict and I love the idea of a cardigan over a great dress. The Moschino Cheap & Chic Resort is wonderful. I also love the ASOS sleevless cocoon cardi. The Dior lace cardi is quite sexy, but still elegant. Great pics.

    Cute, cute cardis, though!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've recently developped an obsession for cardis. I never knew they could be so much fun to wear. I wore a bright yellow one (with an all black outfit) to work today and I loved the feeling of standing out.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh I just LOVE a feminine little cardi -- and those demure little leopard print ones are the best. They make me think of some 50's dame named Flo, waiting at a bus stop in cat's eye sunglasses.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ooh! Am wearing a cardi as a type, haha! Love SO many cardi's here, especially the long-line cardi's & cocoon sleeveless ASOS...Cardi's are such a staple & so versatile! :)
