Style Log: Red & Black Abstract(nine)

{Shirt/Kohl's, thrifted :: Skirt/thrifted :: Cardi/thrifted :: Mary Jane Heels/Kohl's}

Not much to say today, except it's friday!! Woot!  My weekend will be spent packing mainly and hopefully (if it doesn't storm or rain) we'll take a break from the packing with a picnic.

It's starting to really set in that I'm moving.  It's like, hey you're going to be out of here in 3 weeks.  Seems crazy.  I mean, I'm no stranger to moving, I moved a lot during college, but I have been at my current residence for the past three years - the most I ever stayed anywhere else was a school year (if that)...except for my parent's house of course.  My girlfriends are coming up for a visit my last official weekend here, it wasn't planned just sort of worked out that way.  So, it will be kinda of fun to have a last little hoorah and say goodbye to the cute little duplex that I've learned to call home. :)

Style Log: Abstracts & Cords

 Misfit #7: Brown Cardigan

This piece made it into the challenge because for some reason I never wear it. I have no clue why, it’s simple and cute. I think I thought it was too tight or maybe it’s the higher collar thing. Who knows!

Initial Thoughts

I quite liked my reflection this morning, the colors in this top are fantastic. I hadn’t worn it yet and the brown cardigan just worked perfectly with it. Plus, the graphic shirt is a actually a tank top, so the cardi was a necessity. I felt casual, but well put together. It was nice!

After Thoughts

When I finally got to work this morning {how is it possible that I’m always running late?} I got lots of compliments on my outfit. One coworker even went as far as too say that she loved when I dressed up, especially when I wore skirts and dresses. That was super nice of her and obviously put a smile on my face. It’s nice knowing not everyone in your office thinks you are crazy. :)

I do like this cardigan. It’s very soft and comfortable and I don’t have any other brown cardi’s. I’m honestly not sure why I haven’t been wearing it more. It could easily be worn buttoned up or belted {which I almost did today!}.

Final Verdict

It’s a keeper! I think it’s a nice basic piece that will be perfect for adding layers during the chillier months.
