VS.
I love summer shopping for two reasons: (1) items are generally way more playful and filled with color (2) the summer sales always start in July, just as it's getting really really hot. These breezy cardigans from Madewell don't fall under the former but since I paid pennies for them this weekend (okay fine, dollars), they do apply to the latter. They're total nerdy chic which is exactly why I love them. And I can't wait to put a little belt around them to fancy them up! UPDATE: I put a little belt around them! Now, it's me vs. Miss Madewell. Who wore it best?!
Why do we FBCWs love cardigans? When a blazer is too serious, they're an understated way to say "look at me, I'm here for a reason." Even though we're gorgeous and intelligent, we sometimes have to use what we wear to gently clarify our purpose and call the attention of the room.
Whether you're headed to a date, a meeting or an event with old friends, fashion is one way to subtly stand out from the rest. We all get dressed in the morning and make a decision on what to wear. Just put a little energy towards how you wear it.
