diy inspiration: paneled cardigans



paneled cardigans




Plain cardigan + fancy fabric = big win.  I'm in the middle of finishing off a cardigan inspired by the above.  Don't touch that dial.  Until then, I'm off for a long weekend of street-market shopping and stroopwaffel eating.  Besos!

  1. I have a love hate relationship with cardigans. I got two for my birthday as I live in them, but when I saw the birthday party pics, the cardi did look mightily underdressed for such a swanky restaurant and note to self was to invest in some evening wraps. But are they too maiden aunt? What do you do to be warm but glamorous?

    1. I feel you on the evening-wear warmth problem. For me, cardigans are generally for day, and if I'm dressing up for an evening out, I just tend to wear long-sleeved plain tops with a fancy skirt/layered jewelry. I'm all ears for more glam and unique suggestions, though!
