Crafted Fashion: Chunky Knit Cardigan
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 8:50AM Happy Tuesday friends! Today I wanted to share a new garment that I recently added to my wardrobe, one which I think is a great deal and a good look. At this time of year I love seeing all the chunky knits that the stores are stocking. They look so cozy and inviting. I just want to snuggle up by a fire and read a good book...in my chunky knit sweater of course. But being from Southern California I don't necessarily need to be adding ten new sweaters to my wardrobe each season. Not only would this not work for my budget but it just wouldn't be needed in our climate. I have been eyeing a few at Anthropologie but all of them are over $100 and just out of my price range. I came to terms with the fact that a chunky new sweater was out of my reach this season until...
I went to Target a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this beauty! Not only was this chunky knit cardigan the perfect cozy, over-sized look I was going for but it also had this lovely Nordic inspired pattern woven into it. The colors suited me and my wardrobe and the toggle closures were a cute detail. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was only $29.99! Head on over to Target or check out the Fair Isle Cardigan Sweater on their website if this sweater (and price!) spark your interest as much as it did for me. It is super comfy and it has definitely kept me warm (although I'm not in negative below weather). The only thing I would change about it is to add two pockets to the front. I have another sweater with front pockets and I keep wanting to put my hands somewhere when I where this new one.
The rest of my outfit came from Anthropologie. Because I work there it is just too easy to look for pieces there, be lazy, and not have to venture out to other stores. Not super creative in terms of fashion I realize but sometimes you have to go for what is easy. The Pilcro pants are from this season. They aren't available online anymore but you might be able to find them in the sale section at your local store. The top and beanie are from last year. The cute little typewriters on the top are so whimsical and fun!
What new pieces have you recently added to your wardrobe? Any favorites? Any other awesome Target finds out there?
