Cardigan

Styling cardigan outfits is probably one of my absolute FAVORITE ensembles to put together. I just feel like you can do SO MUCH with a classic cardigan – regardless of the color – to create a timeless, effortless look. Whether you’re sporting a short, long, heavy, or light cardigan, you’ll find that throwing on that “third piece” really makes all the difference in pulling the entire look together. You can easily dress them up or down and with a variety of different accessories to create several looks with just one piece. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am SUCH a cardigan junkie. I absolutely love them and consider cardigans to be a MUST-HAVE wardrobe essential.

My favorite spot to shop cardigans is Nordstorm because – in my experience – they seem to have the BEST selection and their return policy is BOMB if you need to return. I love the Halogen cardigans for work & play and am always keeping my eye on the new arrivals as well.

I love a good Canadian tuxedo, especially when a “third piece” is added like a cognac leather belt, a vest, or in this case a cream blazer! I’ve found that denim on denim outfits typically look best when I pair contrasting-colored pieces of denim like I did here with dark jeans and a lighter chambray button up. I love the look of cognac accessories – like this bag – when worn with denim. Something about the contrast just WORKS. Don’t you think? I wore this outfit for my blog post on something I think about often and have actually lived by my entire life – but never really had a name for it until I read Mark Manson’s book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F$#%.
