Week of the Cardigan

Happy Friday!!!

I am SOOO excited for the weekend! Gotta get through one more day still...so close! I've decided once again that I need to back off on the shopping (after this weekend of course)...after my "ban" in July--for all of those three weeks I actually stuck to it--I kinda let loose in August and now feel the need to take a step back and relax. I do have quite a few rewards cards to spend at LOFT in September so I do plan on using those still, but besides those, and perhaps a new pair of boots, I am gonna try hard to sit out for a while. Anthro's free shipping ends after Labor day so that will make it easier for me to avoid there at least! I did cave and ended up calling around and finding the Looping Lanes belt from Anthro...I have seen it on so many people and just think it is the cutest, and a very versatile belt. I can see it being very handy in the coming months with tunics (I picked this one up and think it'll be so cute with the belt, some skinny jeans and riding boots--it looks cute on...not too campy like it may look in the stock picture), cardigans, etc. Anyhow, here's to hoping my LOFT rewards cards can get me through (most of) September!

So onto a few OOTD pictures...as I look at the outfits I've worn this week, I realize I truly have had cardigans on the brain! I only wear them for about an hour though because after the morning drop off at school the temps spike way up high and it's time for shorts once again. Here's what I've worn...

  2. I have the "half day" syndrome with my cardigans too! They feel so nice and cozy in the mornings, then get a bit suffocating in the afternoon. Can't wait for "all day" cardi weather. I'm going to check out Target, too, it looks promising, especially for adding colors to the mix without spending too much.

  6. I'm so glad that you got the Looping Lanes belt! In my opinion, it was definitely worth the full-price purchase (and this is coming from a girl who rarely makes a full-price purchase, so you know that's saying something!).

    I love how you used the Double Torsade necklace with the coral cardigan. so cute!

  7. Sometimes I feel like I wear cardigans TOO much, but it is just so easy to throw on as an added layer! I'm sure the people I work with think I must hoard them :) You look great in these outfits!

  9. Hi Jenni, thanks for voting in my poll since I really can't make a decision. The cardigan is XS, sorry. I'll keep my eye out for you though.
