Happy Friday! Is it still too hot to be shopping for cardigans? September is sneaking up on us all and it'll be here sooner than you think. I wasn't planning on buying cardigans this early but I was able to snag both before my no-buy challenge and I'm glad I did.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS in Naked Cashmere and XXS in Banana Republic tops. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and PXS in Athleta tops.

also wearing Athleta's Seasoft Straight Pant in Abalone Gray Size PXS
I'm really sad the Lavina Shawl is currently sold out, but the Montauk Fisherman Hooded Cardigan is similar and also on my list for the fall. I've been eyeing it for months now! It's going on my fall wish list. It's cashmere but looks very chic and sporty. Right up my alley. 😍
Montauk Fisherman Hooded Cardigan Heather Gray
Back to the Lavina Shawl, I am embracing the long sleeves. I can always cuff them if I want to but I sort of like the look! I am totally wearing this outfit to the office come fall and I can't wait. Anyone else tired of this hot weather?
I took a million and one photos because every single shot is just too perfect not to share. I don't know how Naked Cashmere does it, but they make it look so effortlessly chic and luxurious but casual at the same time. The cashmere is so soft and not too heavy and not too light.
I'm wearing size XS and it's perfect. Just a little oversized but still looks amazing. Color is Oat and it's such a great neutral. I'm also wearing Athleta's Seasoft Straight Pant in Abalone Gray. Lululemon's Softstreme HR Crop Pant in Bone is also very similar.
I've been on a Banana Republic kick lately and the crochet detail on this cardigan is so pretty I had to have it. The sleeves are a little long and I did cuff them up once. I'm wearing size XXS and it's a little big, so this cardigan runs large.
The weight of this cardigan is absolutely perfect. Not too heavy, not too light. It's also made of cotton and feels really soft. Also planning on wearing this to the office. It's such a pretty piece. The only drawback is the lack of pockets but seeing that it is a crochet piece, it's probably difficult to hide the pockets. I still love it enough that I can overlook it.
Let me know what you think of these two pieces! That's it for me and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI love cardigans/wraps and I’m always looking for ones that drapes well with a good weight. The Morgan Cotton Cardigan Transition is so pretty but of course it’s sold out in size XXS on the Canadian site. :(

DeleteI love these Naked Cashmere pieces! They have such beautiful knit sweaters. Perhaps someday I'll own a piece.
