Why we LOVE...

CARDIGANS!!!

In a fall post, an Ode to Cardigans, we talked about our love of cardigans, and the numerous styles and colors we admittedly own! Now that we are looking to warmer weather, that doesn't mean you have to put your cardis away for 6 months, or can't wear one until the season changes again.

Often SPRING is the time that you need something extra over that pocket tee or lace tank! Yet you don't want your bulky wool or knit cardigan that you wore with your leggings and boots last fall. You need a lighter-weight & versatile style that you can throw over anything!!

Here are a few of my favorites that I've seen so far this Spring:

I LOVE the Splendid cardi that is available @ Nordstrom. I own last year's style in black, with 3/4 sleeves that button, but am loving this long sleeve style just the same! It is such a comfortable cotton, doesn't wrinkle easy, and is great to bring anywhere. I've worn mine many times to travel, and it's been perfect: comfortable, stylish, and easy to pack in a small bag!! I just picked up this year's style in white, but I'm also loving this khaki color too! (pictured above)


Another great spring cardi is the Gap grandpa cardigan. (pictured left) It's available in several colors, is a light weight rayon/nylon mix, and of course, is machine washable--a must for spring/summer clothes! It's only $54.95 BUT with the GLAMOUR40 deal happening until the end of April, you could get this fabulous cardigan for only $32.97!! What a fantastic deal for a piece that you will wear constantly. It can be buttoned or left open, and it's longer, so you can wear it with a variety of shorts, capris, or even with a skirt or dress! Go get yourself one before the deal is over & the colors/sizes are gone!



One more FABULOUS spring cardi is the Ann Taylor LOFT open front cardigan. (pictured right) I am loving this "deep clay" color, but also liking the "wrought iron" -a more neutral choice. Again, this cardigan is light-weight and machine washable, but I love that it doesn't have buttons. It's meant to be worn open. The detailing along the seams is an added unique touch as well! Perfect for spring!! ...And at $49.50 you can't go wrong!!!


These three cardis are just a couple of the fabulous options out there...depending on your budget, you can find one that fits your needs. Here are just a few more possibilities, and all of them are under $125!

These are SO many options out there for spring/summer cardigans! Where will you find your "perfect cardigan"?? (...or for us, cardiganS!!! -as we both own many!!!) Enjoy the hunt!

Spring Fashion: Save $$ at GAP

Unfortunately, today in MN it is not looking or feeling at all like Spring...a bit more like November (especially since I had to dig out my boots & hat that I had so neatly tucked away!) ...So perhaps it's a great day to head to the MALL, because inside, the stores and merchandise DO remind us that it IS SPRING!!!

With spring, comes fresh floral prints, ballet flats & sandals of all styles, capris, and shorts. With GAP's Spring Collection, you don't need to have their GAP card or a "friends & family" coupon to get 40% off one regular priced item from the new collection!

All you need to do is mention GLAMOUR40 at the checkout, and it's money saved!!

This "deal" is on NOW and runs until April 30th. So it's even running long enough that you can go back multiple times and SAVE!!! Click HERE to read the "fine print." *It only applies IN STORE (not online or at any outlets or Factory stores). I just went in and purchased the legging jeans in grey. I own them in both black and the dark denim wash and LOVE THEM!! They are originally $69.50, but with the 40% discount, they were only $41.70--that's a great deal for jeans that I know I will wear a ton!!!

I want to go back to check out their slim crop pants in black (pictured right), as they look fabulous, and give that more dressy feel....perfect for early spring if you can't wear jeans to the office! And at only $49.50 regular price, they are a STEAL with the 40% off making them only $29.70!!! OR maybe it's time to try out the 70s feel of things and purchase a pair of the wide leg jeans...I'm loving the all white pair, or maybe the pair we wrote about last month??!! Whatever it may be, and perhaps more than one item--as it doesn't limit you to how many visits you make, or whether you visit multiple stores.....enjoy the discount!! HAPPY SPRING!!!
