Halogen 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan ($46)
When the J.Crew cardigans went to hell, I basically gave up on cardis. Recently, I needed a couple to round out my “Hey, you have a job again” wardrobe. I ordered a few from different brands; Halogen was the winner.
The cardigans were surprisingly good quality for a sub-$50 price tag. They have a nice weight and a good shape. And they come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. They also come in petite and plus-size.
There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t. And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative. So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]
After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras. The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust. It was a cruel irony.
Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions. From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute. Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]

For the past few years, the wardrobes of many influencers have tilted toward the beige and boring. I’m all for a good basic, but staple pieces can only take you so far. Sometimes, you need to wear something that has a little something extra, and this sale-priced tee certainly does.
This cardigan is my favorite! I have it in a bunch of colors and re-order the basic black & white ones every year. The fun colors go on sale pretty frequently, so my closet is getting a bit full…
I live in Raleigh, NC and it’s starting to get hot here. Do you all wear cardis in summer? I feel like I’m melting during the brief periods I’m outside, especially if we leave the office for work.
Yes! Thank you! My latest JCrew Cardi is all stretched out and terrible and I bought a Banana one over the winter and it’s too tight and begs to be buttoned all the way up but that’s just weird. Will check these out.
I love this cardigan too and have it in a couple colors. Anyone have tips about cleaning it? The one that I put in the wash on a gentle cycle seemed to lose some shape and gain some stiffness to the fabric. But I loved it enough to buy a replacement with plans to be more careful. 🙂
