Go Crazy For The Cool Cute Cardies!

Has anyone else noticed the amount of cardigans dominating the catwalk's? Just about every designer from a-z have featured the cool and pretty cardigan, Luella is especially loving the cardie!
As far as I'm concerned the cardigan is a girls best friend, and should not by any means simply be consumed and then banished to the back of your wardrobe, (along with last year's 'reinvented' jelly sandal nope I wasn't manipulated nor fooled into that rather tricky s/s '08 trend!) a cardigan is for life not just for spring summer '09. I'm very pleased the cardigan is receiving some fashion credential, at long last. I can breath a sigh of relief and actually consider myself to be two percent stylish and dare I say it? A little bit fashionable? As a fashion misfit (and I don't mean that in the American movie-type-cast-emo-misfit context, if that makes any sense, at all!?) a misfit because, I refuse to conform and be tricked into fashion's dicey trend's, alas the mismatched and colourful concoction of daily outfits, of which I literally pull out my disorganized wardrobe. It would be fair to suggest my commitment to seasonal trend's is non existent. However it seems all of a sudden, I'm not the only individual with much admiration towards the ever reliable and versatile, comfy cardigan, and as a slave to cardigans I felt compelled to seek the most colourful eye catching cardies. From geometric to bow print, sleeveless to draped: there are a whole array of crazy as can be cardigan's and the brighter the better, me thinks...

I am SUCH a cardigan whore, have been for a couple of years now, my friends (who live in jeans, t-shirt, hoody, trainers) used to laugh and call me a grandma, but I don't give a shit,
cardigans = epic win.
Amen.

I totally agree, I've been rocking the cardi for years now. I actually still have an old white one from ten years ago that I still wear! Now that's dedication.

Love your blog by the way. Thanks for leaving me a comment and becoming a 'follower' which although sounds dodgy is really quite nice...

Cardigans are definitely a girls best friend. I don't think I wear any jumpers just cardigans, I just lose them all the time when I'm out dancing :-(
