Wardrobe Wish List: The “Caitlin” Cardigan

By Thu

[I want it, I need it, I can't live without it. There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. We'll share 'em with you here (because we're that nice), but as far as actually getting them goes....well, you're on your own with that one.]

With Spring around the corner, it’s almost time to shove those bulky jackets and sweaters back into that Tupperware box under your bed where they belong. All that new extra room in your closet also means it’s time to stock up on some new essentials. When the time is right, opt for my current go-to source of warmth: the cardigan. It is comfortable, versatile and cozy for those cooler nights, yet does not make you look like a bum, which your old high school and college sweatshirts tend to do.

Marc Jacobs continues to show his genius with the “Caitlin” cardigan. It has two knit layers, a sheer one lying on top of another with dark stripes, toning down the intensity of the bands. The use of layers makes this cardigan a unique design that sets it apart from the 12 black cardigans you currently own, adding a bit of interest to a pretty tame closet. It is the perfect layering piece for a casual look on that chilly day when you’re making your way to class or meeting up with friends for brunch. And it’s just so cute.

I l-o-v-e this piece. Here’s hoping it goes on sale clearance.
