Comfy Cardis!

My cardigan and knit obsession continues, especially in goes-with-anything greys and blacks. Here are several cardis, sweaters and other knits I so deeply desire:

($150, Clue, Satineboutique.com)

But will I look as pouty and impossibly small-waisted if I buy this?

($306, Alexander McQueen, Shopbop.com)

I normally can't stand wearing clothes with brands plasted across them, but this isn't too obvious. Plus, graffiti = funs!

($228, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Shopbop.com)
This is so effin' cute. Subtle too. Deeeelightful!

($235, L.A.M.B., Shopbop.com)

Due to the placement of the knit straps, I'd prolly advise not wearing this is you're over a small B-cup, lest your boobs push the belts so far to the sides that they get swallowed up by your pits. Regardless, I sorta love the lederhosen vibe this cute little sweater gives off.

($63, Priorities, Bluefly)

A striped, zippy hoodie cardi is such a necessity that they even named it PRIORITIES!

($194, Nom*D, Refinery29.com)

One for the dudes! I'm sorta unsure how I feel about longer stuff on dudes (save for a nice 3/4-length coat, but I guess this is sorta similar.

($245, C&C California, Shopbop.com)

Can you make it through the winter without a dark cashmere cardigan? (Or a reasonable facsimile -- a reasonable facsimile being at least $150 less and probably NOT cashmere?) No. No you cannot.

($258, Juicy Couture, Nordstrom)

Love the dainty little ruffling -- usually I HATE ruffles, but this is just non-intrusive enough. And I love the heather grey version too.

($29, Target)

I realized most of the stuff I posted was well above the FB affordable standard, so here's one from Ol' Faithful, Targz.

Striped Sweaters Forever!

Even with a cigarette in hand, Katherine Heigl is a pretty, pretty princess. She always looks great in stripes, don't she? And I LOVE her Juicy Couture striped cardigan -- seriously, she even manages to make beige beautiful! -- available here:

($278, Juicy Couture, Shopbop.com)


($278, Juicy Couture, Revolveclothing.com)

I also love it in black, but ahmahgah, this chick is TO'. UP.

($268, Juicy Couture, Saks Fifth Avenue)
Also cute in dress form.



($160, Line, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Pair red stripes with almost any dark color and you run the risk of looking like you're TRYING to dress like a member of Panic! At The Disco, but for some reason, this tunic sweater pulls it off without the Hot Topic effect.

($129, Sutton Studio, Bloomingdales)
Mmm. Cashmere AND silk. Delish.


($327, Trovata, Revolveclothing.com)

Show me a dude who doesn't look cute in a striped sweater and I'll show you... a dude who just isn't cute, unfortunately.

($168, Juicy Couture, Saks Fifth Avenue)

For some reason, I almost find these fun barbed wire stripes sorta smart and not schticky!

($49, Urban Outfitters)
Herringbone stripes = fantastic!


($72, Paul Frank, Urban Outfitters)
Mmmm. Orange! Bring on the CHILL!

Girl in a Cardigan, Everybody Digs Her*

Or, at least, John Krasinski does. Since I am totally hummina hummina for him after gorging myself via Netflix on the first two seasons of The Office, I must now acquire cardigans. The cutest possible, because like every cool girl in the world also digs Krasinski, it seems. And so you've gotta step up your cardigan game. A few options:



Lux yellow stripey cardigan, $38. So cute with the skinny belt.



For a bolder look, try this Urban Outfitters rugby stripe cardigan, $54. What can I say? I like yellow.



But I also like gray. Here's a gray cardigan I picked up at H&M recently for $29.90. Wouldn't be worth it but for the pink trim -- and pockets! Gotta love pockets.



And here's a cozy-looking charcoal number from Alloy. Covered-button cardi, $32.50.





Libertine for Target two-tone cardigans in red/pink and, uh, pink/red, $29.99, in stores on Sunday. I've been searching for a cute red cardigan, actually, but I prefer the pink. Go figure!



Ooooh! The red cardigan I've been searching for? Frilly, pretty, feminine? Indeedie! Cartonnier "ruffled cattail" cardigan, $118. Anthropologie actually has a lot of cardigans to chooose from; indulge me in just one more.



Charley & Robin cropped cardigan, $88. Love the high neck and asymmetrical shape.



Alloy cropped cardigan hoodie, $26.50.



This might be my favorite of the bunch: Billabong "Jade" sweater, $54. Note the angled pockets!



This one takes a classic and sexes it up a bit. Isaac Mizrahi for Target fishnet cardigan, $29.99.



All hail prints! J. Crew Egyptian cotton postcard-print cardigan, $100.



J. Crew Egyptian cotton dancing starfish cardigan, $98. So intensely fun! J. Crew's getting a little less boring these days, huh?



Speaking of unboring: L.A.M.B "inset" cardigan, a.k.a. twinset (!), but still very cool, $325.



Edun "Gertrude" cardigan, $215. A nice spin on the nautical motif.



Betsey Johnson leopard-print cardigan, $195.



Betsey Johnson polka-dot cardigan, $265. I would get this is if were, oh, about a tenth of the price. Luckily, there are places for people like me....



Yes, I feel very comfy with this Old Navy scoop-neck babydoll cardigan, $29.50.

I'm not sure if short-sleeved sweaters count as cardigans in John Krasinsky's worldview. Probably not. In my opinion, they're not even really sweaters, are they? We have so much in common! But just in case:



Alloy trapeze cable cardigan, $29.50.



Free People "Leap Frog" chunky cardigan, $88, with cute fabric closure.



Susina cardigan, $42. What a seemingly giant noggin that girl has! Impressive, really.



Once I marry John Krasinksi, I will get him to buy me this Missoni cardigan, $1,355.

*with apologies to ZZ Top, who I bet don't dig girls in cardigans at all.

Stuff I Like -- Some Stuff For Guys, Too!

Okay, y'all. I'm gonna be a bridesmaid! (Mazel tov, LB!) Yay! I don't know the first thing about looking for bridal gowns or bridesmaids dresses... is it weird that I like this?

($138, Adrianna Papell, Promgirl.com)
I sorta like the idea of a cocktail dress instead of traditional bridesmaid dress. But... it ain't my wedding. I know it's a prom dress, but this is sorta cute. Or it could suck in real life. Also, that chick sorta looks like Katie Holmes.



($995, Badgley Mischka, Bloomingdales.com)
So. Pretty. Princess.



($800, Simple Silhouettes, Simpledress.com)
White done right. Adorable in a very minimal-Zooey Deschanel sorta way.



($152, Only Hearts, Bloomingdales.com)
I love this. Just in general. Even if it is a bit out of season. Good for holiday parties though!



($31, Zu-Zu-b.com)
I have no clue why I like this. I don't usually go for this screen-printed type of stuff, but it looks really comfie and cute.



($24.75, Asos.com)
Dude stuff! I barely know who Kasabian is, let alone why you'd want to look like one of their members, but whatever. It's a great basic. Cardigans = the thinking man's hoodie.



($53.63, Asos.com)
My boyfriend's response to this piece when I sent it to him was "That's a joke, right?" Alas, NO. I'm dead serious. This striped cardigan is GORGEOUS! Especially with dark jeans. If I were a guy, I'd totally wear this. Then again, if I were a guy, I'd probably also wear heels. Anyway...the NERVE!
