In praise of cardigans

I just love them!

That’s most of ‘em.  The warmer ones are stowed away until cool weather returns.  They’re my uniform most weekdays — cardigan, camisole, trousers, jewelry.  I look polished but I’m super-comfortable and I didn’t even have to iron or tuck anything in.  Nobody really knows how lazy I truly am just by looking at me.  I also carry one whenever I’m wearing a sundress or sleeveless shirt, since I’m always cold.

I prefer 3/4-length sleeves, which work most of the year in Houston if you’re an office-dweller like me.  I have a soft spot for a good cashmere sweater, but I think the most versatile fabric for everyday wear is an acrylic blend, which is easy to care for and still looks good after countless washes.  My current favorite source for the perfect cardigan is Express.  Mine are probably the most frequently worn items in my wardrobe, but they still look nearly new.
