spring cardigans on a budget
Since the weather in North Carolina is so mild, cardigans are a year-round staple in my wardrobe. They’re practical (always a main concern for me!) because you can wear them over T-shirts, nicer tops, or dresses, and they can be dressed up with accessories or dressed down over jeans. With Spring in the air and budgets in mind, here are twelve cardigans I’d love to own, all $100 and (mostly) under.
[1] 1950s angora cardigan, $90 from altered vintageware [2] bat sleeve cardigan, $44 from erika hendrix [3] flower detail cardigan $49.50 from the loft [4] 1970s yellow cardigan, $26 from cei cei studio [5] bouquet cardigan, $78 from j.crew [6] pinched trim cardigan $24.80 from forever21 [7] crochet lace cardigan, $49.50 from the loft [8] yellow cardigan, $37 from edge of urge [9] cowlneck cardigan, $88 from anthropologie [10] striped cardigan, $48 from gap [11] empire-tied cardigan, $98 from anthropologie [12] cricket cardigan, $78 from j.crew
I’m headed out early today to make a bouquet for my bridal portrait (exciting!). Send photogenic vibes my way!

April 3, 2009 at 12:19 pmThanks for sharing! I wear cardigans like they are going out of style. JCrew and Anthro always have the best classic cardigans.
