And say hello to my first cardigan. Well, not my first ever, but my first since probably about 2007, and the first I've worn since then.
The coloring is off here, because the cardigan is certainly more tangerine than bright fire red as seen here. I'm liking it though! So maybe cardigans aren't so bad. I think we are going to be friends.
Also, I've come up with another New Years Resolution: Finally mail out the thank you cards for my wedding. Better three months late than never, is what I always say....
This is beautiful. I'm pretty sure I'm going to steal this idea a create a similar outfit. I cardigan, blazer combo? Heaven. :)

Haha thanks! I felt like I was cheating by putting a blazer over a cardigan when I'm trying to figure out how to wear cardigans, but it was too cute! Plus I work in a freezing cold office, so multiple layers is a must. :)
DeleteHi, I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to let you know how much I like it! You have really great style and I love this outfit. Especially the cute necklace! ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy new year and all the best.

Thanks Jenna! This outfit was kinda "eh" to me until I added that belt. :)
DeleteRed...Tangerine...either color looks great! I have so many cardigans, too many. I didn't wear them for years b/c it felt like wearing a lab coat or scrub jacket, just a frumpy feel. But layering it with a blazer and/or skinny belt is def the way to do it!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why I didn't wear them. On other girls they look cute, but I never felt polished or classy with one on myself. I'm on a mission to find ways to wear them though!
DeleteFor someone who hasn't worn a cardigan in 5 years (OMG 6. wtf 2013, I'm not ready for this), you look great. I felt the same way about blazers - I used to wear cardigans so often, but then found blazers and loved how they can be layered just as easily but add a crispness that cardigans can't. Now I'm about 70/30 blazers/cardigans and love both of them :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm wearing the other cardigan I bought today, a cream colored one. It's nice! I work in an office so I like blazers for work, and when I'm not at work I find I'm usually in yoga pants and a few layered tees at home, but cardigans are nice for my days off when I leave the house and don't wanna wear a blazer! Haha I always later up in the winter, and always feel so weird in jeans and a blazer when my husband is in just an old shirt and jeans haha.
DeleteOooh love this outfit! So classy and sweet. That red looks great on you :) First cardigan ever? Well congrats! :D
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the necklace and the red cardigan for a pop of colour! Looks great!

I'd say you were successful at wearing a cardigan and not even looking close to matronly! :) Love it with the contrast of the black blazer paired with the brown belt!
