Airport Greeting Cardigan (Modcloth, $55)

My favorite thing about shopping is when you find a piece that looks way more expensive than the price on the tag; this cardigan is such a piece.  It has oodles of style, a slightly rocker, slouchy vibe and it is THE sweater to wear on the chilly train, plane or automobile. 

Basically, if you told me this cardi was Mike & Chris, Vince or Bailey 44, I would believe you. No one will guess that it’s Modcloth (unless, they also read this blog). 

And, on a personal note, I love that it is long enough in the back for those of us who are long torsoed.

    What's the general quality level of items from Modcloth?

  2. Amy says:

    I find that it varies because Modcloth carries items from a variety of different brands. I would pay attention to the reviews buyers post about items as well as reading what kinds of fabrics are used. etc… I've gotten really pretty, well-made blouses and a fantastic jacket there, and I've also bought a couple things that were disappointingly flimsy and cheap-looking. Overall, I've been pleased with most purchases, though.

    I ordered this immediately upon seeing it.

  4. Amy says:

    Belle, do you own this sweater? How is the sizing?

  5. Kit says:

    Wow! As someone who is both tall AND long-torsoed, I'm always on the look out for tops that are both cute and long enough. This is fantastic and reasonably priced. It will be mine!

  6. MS says:

    Wow, they made this in charcoal? I remember this was on my wishlist back when they made it in deep hunter green — it looked like a winner then, and it still looks like a winner now!

  7. Beth says:

    I would be all over this if it wasn't dryclean only. :/

  8. X says:

    This is terrific, can't wait to own it! Thanks Belle

    Aww it's sold out now. 🙁

    I have been dying to find something like this with an asymmetrical zipper/closing. Made me think of this (https://pinterest.com/pin/69665125456085135/) which I also love. If you find anything similar – let me know!

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
