The indispensable yellow cardigan
The single most worn item in my closet is a yellow cardigan (I actually have more than one).
3 seasons out of the year (she gets a break in winter), I probably wear a yellow cardigan — or have it in my purse — 3 or 4 days a week. Okay, maybe 5.
Yellow blends with just about every color — black, grey, browns, blues, greens, florals — which often don’t contain yellow — so I don’t look too matchy-matchy.
Ask anyone who knows me what my “signature” item would be — it’s likely they’d say a cardigan. I’d narrow it to a yellow one.
Currently my Delia’s-brand sweater is looking a little frail. I’m on the look-out for a new cardigan for the rotation. Here are a few possibilities:
1.) 3/4-sleeve Jersey Cardigan, $24.90
2.) School Uniform Cardigan Sweater, $38.50
3.) V-Neck Cardigan, $49.50

Without a doubt I would pick the v-neck cardigan. I just bought a leopard print cardigan to day. It’s pretty fabulous. However, my most worn is my red cardigan.

Really?! I just got rid of a red one because I never wore it enough. Maybe I was premature?

Cardigans are by far my most favorite go-to piece. I usually wear one every day. Right now my favorite is a black one I bought this summer. However, my overall favorite cardigan is a mustard yellow one I picked up las winter.
