Where are my cardigans?

by on October 23, 2012

It is full-blown cardigan weather now and my biggest dilemma is that I seem to only have one sweater! I was about to say, “I have no idea how this is possible” but I kind of do. I am a horrible purger. I like to donate clothes and many times, after the fact, realize that I kind of needed that sweater. I think in the moment I tell myself that I would and should buy something new when the seasons change. Then I don’t.

And then I find myself in a one sweater situation.

This is my cardigan/ sweater wish list:

1. Barcelona Sweater in Verdant Green from IGIGI


2. Draped-collar cardigan from J Jill Plus

3. Charter Club Plus Size Sweater, Long-Sleeve Cashmere Shawl Collar from Macy’s Plus

4. V-Neck Colorblock Pullover Sweater from Avenue

5. Cabled Asymmetrical Collar Pullover from Dress Barn

6. Marled Hooded Pullover also from Dress Barn

Ok – I am actually really digging all the Dress Barn sweaters! Now just to save up and figure out which lucky sweater will join my solo cardigan…I also need to hit the thrift stores and see if any of these styles of sweaters are just waiting for me there!

Here’s your plan: Thrift stores, yes. But also, save up your money and buy the nicest, thickest, softest cashmere cardigan (or other sweater, but I love cardigans) you can find and proceed to wear it forever! Because sometimes, when you average the cost out over the lifetime of the item, it’s worth it…

Well if I were you I would wait a few weeks. With any luck you’ll need a maternity cardigan.

Another idea is to visit Savannah and the nearby Dress Barn outlet store. :-) I love cashmere. I think I’m down to 1 or 2 sweaters myself but down here I don’t really need even one.

If plaidbryo sticks around (crossing my fingers!), I’d vote for cardigans over sweaters. I wore my non-maternity cardigans up to the last month or two of my winter pregnancy.

I am a purger too! I think the green one would look fabulous on you. Great picks.

I second the notion of waiting a bit, or investing in cardigans rather than pull-overs. We’ve got a LOT of sweater weather left here in PA, and some of those look like they’re going to be pretty snug in the tummy by April or May.

I wish I was a purger. I am a hoarder!
