As you can see from my outfit choices this week, if you told me I could no longer wear cardigans to work, I'd slap you silly... I'm talking Stephen vs. Irene Real World Seattle Style here, folks.

This was one of those mornings where I had in mind what I wanted to wear (dark turquoise rosette neck shell - pictured - with a pencil skirt and jacket). Then the pencil skirt was no where to be found. Nether were my favorite pinstripe pants. So then I had to go with option 3 - black pants from BR that I love but are high-waters in anything but flats. And I think flats look lame with a full, formal suit... Off goes the jacket in exchange for the cardigan.

And THAT'S how we got to 3 LEC Heritage Cardigans in 4 days. Wphew.
"Heritage" Cardigan in Turquoise Sea - Land's End Canvas
Dark Turquoise Silk Rosette Neck Shell - Banana Republic
Black Pants - Banana Republic
Black Bow Flats - Jessica Simpson via Nordstrom
Gold Disc Earrings - Sonya Rene
Gold Medallion Necklace - gift
Note: For those of you have have asked about LEC's sizing, I did a post on EA (click here) extolling the virtues of LEC and including a little blip about sizing!
Cute. I like those blues together.
ReplyDeleteI wear a cardigan almost daily. They are just so easy.
ReplyDeleteI don't say it enough but girl you have some great style.
ReplyDeleteI am wearing a navy shell and the LEC turquoise cardigan today. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou have the biggest wardrobe I have ever seen!
ReplyDeletei think i may go ahead and buy a LEC cardigan. i love cardis and my wardrobe could use a pick-me-up. need some color in my light gray/dark gray/black/black/black routine. love that turquoise!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you referenced the Stephen/Irene Seattle slap! Those were the good ol' days, when Real World was still interesting, and MTV still played music videos!
ReplyDeleteI still LOVE that episode of Real World...and then Stephen threw Irene's bear into the water! Classic!
ReplyDeleteDamn, I love this outfit! Very spring classic.
ReplyDeletei love the LEC cardigan- after looking at all of yours, it inspired me to buy one... which i wore today.
ReplyDeletewhat style of BR pants do you wear? they always look super cute.
I never ever post, but i stalk and admire your fashion sense (cute top btw)....
ReplyDeleteBUT I JUST had to thank you for the 90s flashback. I was recently having a flashback with friends about that slap....the slap of disaster. oh stephen.
OK, I already have a closet full of cardigans, but yours are making me want to run to Lands End immediately.
ReplyDeleteI now own that cardigan thanks to you and you're right it's fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteThe Stephen/Irene slap comment has me cracking up. Thanks for that little flashback to my teen years! I loved that season since it had 2 boys from VMI and another VA girl!
ReplyDeleteLaughed out loud at school today while reading your Real World comment, haha, oh that took me back! Love your outfit today. What would we do without cardigans?
ReplyDeleteAmazing color combination! I'm going to try to recreate it right now! :)
