I read this thread yesterday and had never heard of Mr Rogers, I had to Google him. That must have been a show that never found its way down here.<br /> I Googled and found lots of cardigans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2121195 Sun, 17 May 2020 03:25:37 +0000 Jaime 2121195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what other style lessons we should be learning from Mr. Rogers?

I love those eureka moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2121042 Sat, 16 May 2020 15:39:11 +0000 Zaeobi 2121042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this striped &amp; sleeveless look to the cardigan - I imagine it could even be versatile in the summertime, when you want to add a layer for visual interest but don't want to overheat in a bulky topper. It's the one HEWI silhouette I've been stalking for a while without much luck yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120944 Sat, 16 May 2020 02:04:19 +0000 Christina F. 2120944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely!</p> <p>The cardis are a good idea. Heaven knows, we all have to pay attention to our home style more than ever. Sounds like they will be practical as well as fun for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120917 Fri, 15 May 2020 23:33:00 +0000 Kaelyn 2120917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. Rogers would be proud. :-)</p> <p>I love the vertical stripes and textural appeal of the one you're wearing.

For me, it's usually zip-front hoodies because pockets and hoods. </p> <p>I always *loved* watching Mr. Rogers change from his outside clothes to his inside clothes. <i>"Which cardigan will he pick today?"&nbsp;&nbsp;</i>He had one rust-orange cardigan that I really adored as a kid. I've kind of had my eye out for a rust cardigan for a while; I wonder if that's why... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120879 Fri, 15 May 2020 22:01:01 +0000 Becky 2120879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

This cardigan was fairly popular and probably running a bit on a bigger side:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.luckybrand.com/cable-front-cardigan/7W52251.html?dwvar_7W52251_color=750&amp;cgid=w-clothing-sweaters">https://www.luckybrand.com/cab.....gid=w-clot</a><br />There is another one at Rack - camouflage print though:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/3059157/lucky-brand-camouflage-open-front-cardigan?color=GREY%20MULTI">https://www.nordstromrack.com/.....gan?color=</a><br />Halogen long cardigans are often too long on me - I tried some in petit sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120776 Fri, 15 May 2020 15:54:02 +0000 Anonymous 2120776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just going to say that the Nord Canada site has a nice Halogen longer cardigan with a bit of a balloon -ish sleeve (nothing crazy, don't worry). I'll see if I can add finds from that site. &nbsp;I seem to have a lot of cardigans and find them really useful at this time of year (less so in summer and winter ) but I am only drawn to those that have something extra to the design or knit. Super plain ones feel too much like part of a work uniform to me. &nbsp;I find better choices in independent stores for this kind of thing .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120773 Fri, 15 May 2020 15:33:19 +0000 Helena 2120773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx ladies!</p> <p>Joy, I was just looking at the Halogen cardis but waffling on size ... I'm sort of between. Would you suggest sizing up or down, do you think? I want it loose enough to fit comfortably over another long sleeve, but I don't want to swim in it ... thx! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120770 Fri, 15 May 2020 15:19:39 +0000 Anonymous 2120770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit you are wearing. I have been very happy with Halogen long cardigans found with very inexpensive prices at The Rack. I have the Halogen brand in a linen and Philosophy brand that is a bit heavier knit, both in two colors, and wish I’d bought more. I would replace some hip length older cardies with longer, more stylish, ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120768 Fri, 15 May 2020 15:06:58 +0000 slim cat 2120768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all - stripes, contrast, delicate jewelry and soft lip color!&nbsp;<br />BTW - that's my all the time favorite type of cardigan to wear.<br />You look lovely ( layering necklaces is fab )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---quiet-layers-cardi-thoughts-and-more#post-2120767 Fri, 15 May 2020 15:00:00 +0000 Helena 2120767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Friday friends! <b>Angie's</b> post today spoke to me so much, especially the first one. I love the ease, the colour, the practicality. So I attempted to recreate it somewhat from my closet.</p> <p>I've bemoaned layers before, because our climate swings between super-cold (where pretty layers are just uncomfortable under the giant gear layers necessary for the weather) and super-hot (where layers are yuck) and very little time in between. However, what occurred to me today is that I am often in a cardigan over my thin sweaters&nbsp;<i>at home&nbsp;</i>because I get so cold, and then I take off the cardigan when I go out and put on my heavy jacket. So why would I not keep an eye out for a few more cardis that fit comfortably over my sweaters, <i>in the colours I love</i>, and then just remove them when I go out (<i>which is also the time when I'm less confident wearing colour</i>). Two birds, one stone. Mr. Rogers style lessons for the win :D</p> <p>I saved a few ideas in Finds, but if anyone has any recos for their fave not-exorbitant cardis, I'd love the hear them!</p> <p>Anyhoo - for today's outfit, I wore my Mom's striped cardi over my column of navy. I wore tan booties for the WIW to add the lighter tone, but in reality it's pouring so I'll be in my Hunters today. Proof of concept - popped the cardi off for my walk when I put my rain gear on; back on again when I got home.</p> <p>I was also in a jewellery mood, so Iayered my gold 'love' necklace with my memory necklace that I wear daily, and my Mom's gold signet ring on the same hand as my engagement ring. Delicate large hoops too. Also have more big earrings on the wishlist, thinking of trying a pair of the Nickel &amp; Suede ones that <b>Suz </b>wears so beautifully.</p> <p>Feedback and suggestions very welcome! Have a wonderful day and happy Victoria weekend to the Canadians! xx </p>
