(And wildcards can really give a shot in the arm to the wardrobe!)

I can see why you want another cardi this colour. It's fresh and spring-y and goes so well with your scarf.  I am still trying to get through the hellish nightmare that is February in Canada. See your spring looks gives me hope that soon it will be over! anne on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622667 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:05:55 +0000 anne 1622667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great to see you Becky, and you are looking great! cobaltblue on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622601 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 01:25:27 +0000 cobaltblue 1622601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bettycrocker, it's a Highly Elusive Wardrobe Item.

My day turned out much busier than I expected. Tanya and Diane, thanks for the boost! I was happy to try a bit of a springy look today. Angie, thanks for the "fabulous"! I am glad the shoes receive your approval. All my favorite pairs of footwear are Angie picks, save this pair and one other. Glad I trusted my own judgement on these! :) Dashielle, thank you for the link. I had not considered Amazon but will check there. Rebekah, eBay is a great idea too. If that one weren't petite, I'd snap it up! I'll keep an eye out for future auctions. Una, Thanks for the lead - I will check out BR. We had a freakishly warm day today, so I was fine with nude hose as insulation. The good weather was a one-off, though, and the snow will be back soon, unfortunately. Inge, thank you for all the suggestions. I will take a closer look at all of them. I am thinking that another bright color might be just the thing - my friends and colleagues may be tired of seeing me in chartreuse, even if I'm not!

Would any of the below work? catgirl on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622469 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:23:42 +0000 catgirl 1622469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Banana Republic had them.

I like the feminine vibe, with that lovely flared skirt and I like the colourful scarf and cardigan. The proportions are great too. rebekahphoto on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622392 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:56:48 +0000 rebekahphoto 1622392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ you might try ebay to see if you can find the same sweater as old new stock there. a quick search turned up this: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-with-TAG-Ann-Taylor-Loft-V-Neck-Cardigan-Margarita-Lime-Size-XXS-Petite-/201421520133?hash=item2ee5a87d05:g:gkkAAOSwEeFVQlDK" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-wi.....XS-Petite-</a> Angie on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622391 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:55:54 +0000 Angie 1622391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A quick welcome back Becky, before I run off for the day. You look FABULOUS. Love the shoes and colours of the outfit. You have a great set of gams.  I haven't seen a cardi that colour this season, but I am sure it will pop up. Wildcards are SO fun. It's amazing how they often become workhorses.  dashielle (Ann) on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622386 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:46:53 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1622386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A cursory search of Amazon yields the following; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Casual-Sleeve-Cardigan-BLUE_JADE/dp/B017WZ4WIG/ref=sr_1_10_mc?ie=UTF8&qid=1456681291&sr=8-10&keywords=v+neck+cardigan"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_n_size_browse-vebi_6?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A7141123011%2Cn%3A7147440011%2Cn%3A1040660%2Cn%3A1044456%2Cn%3A1044612%2Ck%3Av+neck+cardigan%2Cp_n_size_browse-vebin%3A2343355011%7C2343359011&bbn=1044612&keywords=v+neck+cardigan&ie=UTF8&qid=1456681544&rnid=2343347011">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr.....1%2Cn%3A71</a> Good luck!

I am afraid I can't help you with the cardigan search since I don't wear them; but I had to comment how lovely your outfit is.  I especially like the shoes, they really kick everything up a notch. cobaltblue on "Hello again, WIW, and a HEWI" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-again-wiw-and-a-hewi#post-1622378 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:32:50 +0000 cobaltblue 1622378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Greetings from a long-time mostly lurker. I'm in the midst of my second full-time semester back at school and super busy with my program and keeping up with our young children. I do still read the blog daily and enjoy checking up on the forum but have barely participated. Thanks to Angie and all of you for your beautiful outfits and interesting conversations. Today I'd like to share a WIW and ask for help with a HEWI. I've worn this LOFT cardigan almost to death and am looking for a replacement. The chartreuse color was a total wildcard for me, but the sweater has proven to be a workhorse, coming out to play at least once or twice a week. I love that it's not a crew neck; the vents on the sides are the only thing I'm not crazy about. It's lost shape and is starting to pull apart on the seams along my arms, so it's definitely time for a replacement. I wear a lot of subdued colors and neutrals and have really enjoyed the right bright addition to my outfit, especially in our gloomy winter. I haven't seen this color (or a sour bright green) in stores. Even the right fuchsia or bright teal might work. I have been trawling the web but can't find any good colors in a v-neck (or other non-crew neckline). Thanks in advance for your comments or any great leads on a good cardigan (ideally at a PhD student couple-with-kids price!). Becky
