Seasonless Style: A Cardigan with Vintage Style

Jul 30, 2021

I did not intend to turn this into ‘cardigan week.’  I started searching for today’s morning post in the dress section, but once I spotted this sweater, I couldn’t leave it out.  So, now, it’s cardigan week.

This fitted cardigan with gold buttons is just special.  On first blush, it looks like an elegant, slightly vintage option.  But there’s more there.

You could wear it with a simple black sheath dress, of course.  You could wear it with boyfriend jeans, sneakers, and a graphic tee.  You could layer it over a jumpsuit.  Or you could wear it with a black lace tank, black shorts, and high heels.  This cardigan is the rare piece that could fit into any closet.

And the buttons.  I’m a sucker for a gold button.

I’m so excited for this cardigan to arrive, I can barely stand it.

    Abra, do you find that & Other Stories runs TTS? I have a few things in my cart, but i’ve gained ~5 pounds over the summer (hey marathon injury, i see you…) and i’m concerned that i’m now between sizes!

    I just bought this cardigan. Mask mandates aside (sigh),I am so looking forward to dressing like a lady who has cool places to go and fun people to see.

    I just had the most pleasant memory because of this sweater. I had a similar sweater that I loved when I was in my early twenties. It didn’t fit my lifestyle then but I wore it regardless. This classic doesn’t fit my lifestyle now- I am a nurse who wears scrubs but I would still wear the hell out of it on cooler days.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
