Cute cardigans?

casey

Hi all,

I've been eyeing some of your adorable bright colored short-sleeved cardigans. I'm lacking spring layering pieces, so I'd love to know where you're picking up these great cardis!

I'm on a budget so would prefer something more inexpensive, but I haven't seen anything that's really struck me yet so I'm open to anything.

I have a couple of short sleeved brightly colored cardis. The better (quality) one is from J Crew, and the other one is from BP, which is a department at Nordstrom's. The BP one was much cheaper (maybe $35), but the quality of the J Crew one is much nicer (at $59 if I recall correctly). Both were bought last year. Hope this helps!

I find them all over; AT Factory had some cute ones for $25, Target should have some soon too.

Old Navy has a bunch, and I saw some on the clearance rack at Banana Republic.

I've seen lots of the longer boyfriend variety on the sales rack at J crew and BR. AT Loft had some nicer more cropped ones if I recall correctly and I have seen some at ON online (although I have not seen them at the store).

I just got an email from Ann Taylor. Your entire order will be 30% off if you type FRIENDS in the Promo Code spot.

I'm getting three cardigans just because of Shiny always looking so cute in them.

Thanks Sassy! I am also on the hunt for cardis - I guess I am too hard on them and they need frequent replacing, especially the black and white which I wear the most.

I am probably going to order from GAP and ON since they offer petites and looked like they had some cute ones, reasonably priced, when I checked last week. (With my luck they'll be sold out by now... sigh).

My biggest challenge is finding a white cardigan that isn't so thin everything shows through it. Otherwise, my preference is for V-neck or scoop neck, with short or elbow-sleeves. I find I don't wear the crew-neck cardi's as often, but YMMV.

I too have a question regarding cardigans. I have quite a few of them and wear them often, many of them are about 5 years old (none are short sleeve). Since reading YLF, I have started to belt them. I am wondering if newer cardigans are made or cut differently because they are being belted?

When I have mine belted, the back doesn't look quite right...it sort of poofs a little above the belt. I am wondering if anything can be done to remedy this?

side slits on the bottom?
Take in the sides so it is more fitted?

Any help would be so appreciated!

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I looked at all of your suggestions and still haven't hit on some brightly-colored short-sleeved cardigans in my price range (I love the JCrew one, but $59 is a little much for me at the moment), but now I know which stores to watch. I will be sure to post pictures when I find one or two.
