Do you pack up your summer clothes during the winter so only your winter clothes remain? I don't. I keep everything in y closet all year-long. I've never really looked at an item and thought "You're only for summer" or "Can't wear that now...it's winter". The few exceptions would be sandals in the winter and tweed skirts in the summer. Those are pretty much no-go's for me. Other than that though, I say everything is fair game year-round. I get so much more out of my closet that way!

Take for instance this top I'm wearing below...it's short sleeved and pretty springy with the bright floral print. At first one may think it's great for the warm weather months but I think it's perfect for January or February too...with a cardigan, of course!

Whoever invented cardigans was a genius. Thank you to whomever came up with that idea...you're allowing women everywhere to get more out of their closet year-round! =)
Are you a cardigan girl? Do you collect them like me? What's your favorite cardigan in your closet?
I'm obsessed with cardigans. I probably own over 20 -- is that excessive? haha

20 is definitely not excessive...if it is I'm in serious trouble!!! lol
DeleteI'm a big cardi girl and just can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteRight there with ya!!
DeleteYep, I'm a cardi addict. I keep one in my purse at all times. You just never know! I love the color of yours.
ReplyDeleteSo smart! I'm just always cold so I keep them on! =)
DeleteOne reason I love cardis so much is because not only can switch your wardobe around but they can also be very forgiving. They can hide unwanted rolls that tend to pop up. :/ Plus I'm not the biggest fan of my arms. Thank you cardis!
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect for switching up a look...love that about them. And extra bonus for hiding unwanted areas! =)
DeleteI always used to separate out summer/winter but now not so much, I love cardis and have been amassing quite a collection lately :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, for sure! My collection is a little out of hand. =)
DeleteI've never put away my clothes for a season...I blend everything and feel like I get the most use out of my closet because I do so. Agreed...cardigans are one of the best things ever!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I feel...if I packed them up I'd miss out on being able to get the most out of them!
DeleteDefinitely don't pack stuff up each season, I like to wear it all year round & like you, have plenty of cardis to later over s/s tops!
ReplyDeleteI just think the second I packed them away I'd be looking for them, right?! lol
DeleteYou know I'm a cardigan girl.....but I will never tell how many I own! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh girl, you don't even want me to go there! =)
DeleteI always need one more Cardi! :) the weather in CO changes hourly sometimes - AC in January, snow in May - so my clothes stay in my closet year round as wel.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...love that. I always need one more. I'm gonna start telling that to my hubby...but I just needed one more!!! =)
DeleteI'm a total cardi girl. This outfit is perfection.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Melissa!!
DeleteI totally have a teacher cardigan collection. Winter ones, summer ones, print ones, cropped ones, slubby ones. But they go with everything! Over dresses, over tees/tanks, over henleys. And they always make a top more work appropriate too :)
ReplyDeleteThey are the perfect outfit finisher, for sure!! Most useful item in my closet!
DeleteSo fashion opinion question for you...
ReplyDeleteI have this to-die-for summer dress that I bought at the end of the season last year. It's white with a fun, bold paisley print. I live in Wisconsin so it's COLD but I've been thinking about wearing it with black tights, boots, and a warm belted cardigan. Thoughts on the whole white in the winter thing??
Go for it! I love the look of white with black tights...I bet it would be so cute! I say white is for any day of the year. I'd love to see how it turned out!!
DeleteJenni this is such a cute look! Love your cardigan and boots! The floral blouse looks perfect with the outfit! Just found your blog and am your newest follower:)! It would be great if you could check out my blog too:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! So nice to "meet" you! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteYes, I'm obsessed with cardigans!
ReplyDeleteJenni, I love your blog and would absolutely wear all of your outfits!

Thanks Olga, you're so sweet! =)
DeleteI think boots, skinny jeans, top and cardi are my mommy wardrobe staples these days. I have a coral cardi from LOFT that I love. BTW, I discovered a new accessory store near me. It is called Versona, http://www.versonaaccessories.com/. I have seen so many Anthro knock-offs there lately. Considering your love for statement jewelry, I thought you would like them. Hope there is one near you!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, thanks for that link! I'm always on the lookout for great jewelry!! =)
DeleteI may or may not have a small obsession with cardigans. I literally own 10 different colors AND have my eyes peeled on ebay (via my saved search that emails me daily!!) for more color options. I probably wear one 4-5 times per week between September and May! :)
