The cardigan, cardi-for short, is a sweater in all respects. However, to me, it's so much more than that. It's something to keep me warm, it's a pop of color, it's a conservative fashion statement. It's a go-to wardrobe staple that I wear almost daily.
Actually, that's not even exaggerating. I wear a cardigan at least 4 days a week...and usually it's more like 7.
Here are the Top 5 reasons I love cardigans for today's Top 5 Tuesday post.
//1. Cardigans keep me warm. In the winter time or in the frigid air conditioned office, my cardigans always keep me toasty and warm.
//2. Cardigans provide a pop of color to my wardrobe. A basic dress or skirt is completely revitalized with the addition of a brightly colored cardigan. Most of my cardigans are actually bright or pastel colors for this very reason.
//3. Cardigans are a fairly conservative fashion staple. I don't usually feel comfortable showing my arms so cardigans are a great way to wear sleeveless tops and dresses and are light enough to wear even in the summer.
//4. Cardigans are fashionable. Yep, they are just fashionable. Not too trendy and not too basic. They can be mixed up with patterns and cuts or kept simple, but they will always remain a classic piece of fashion.
//5. Cardigans are versatile. Button them up and wear with a skinny belt to be more like a shirt. Leave them open over a loose-fitting tee to function more like a blazer. These can literally be worn with dresses, skirts, jeans and shorts. They are just as at-home at the Kentucky Derby as they are at a Kentucky football game.

Cardis are the best. I think my love of them stems directly from your love of them. My dream outfit is comfy jeans, a white v-neck tee and a gray cardi. And of course, moccasins. : )
