My sweater quest was all misses, unfortunately. Welcome to the Cardi Party foul zone!
Kendor cardigan
OK. I knew this would be slouchy, but it ended up being much more boxy and oversized in the body than I expected. The gaping pockets and long-but-not-long-enough sleeves just added to the awkwardness of this poor thing. The only thing I liked about this is the color. Also, does anyone else get a kind of early 90's vibe from this? Just give me some shoulder pads and I'm there, people.
Colorblock Cardigan
This just wasn't what I expected at all. So sad! You had such potential, little cardi. And it was very itchy. :( Online, the brown looked like a warm chestnut color, but in real life it was darker and murky looking.
The material didn't seem like good quality. If I hadn't looked at the tag, I would have said it was 100% acrylic by the way it looked and felt to the touch.
The only thing I'm keeping are these Minnie pants in coal. They're a great nice staple to add to my black Minnies, that are getting a little worn out from so much use.
oh heyyy minnies, you look good with some sparkle!
In a way, I'm glad I can return these cardigans and get my money back, as we haven't even started holiday shopping yet. I'm a bit mentally worn out from all the JCrew promos and have only made a couple of purchases. Not that I wouldn't turn down another one if the discount was right. ;)
Until next time, JCrew cardi party. Do you have any favorite JCrew sweaters that are out now?

The only sweater I like from JCrew right now: the long sleeve cashmere tee. They are very nice this year, they seem thicker than in years past and with the promo the price is fairly reasonable. I'd love to buy all of my cashmere from Brora but I just can't afford it, and these tee's are a great basic to wear with pencil skirts.
I love those twinkly flats of yours! Yes they have really improved the comfort! I have the Lula in navy patent and the Cece with the glittery bow, love them! That's after swearing off JC flats for a couple of years.
Ooh, cashmere. I will check those out Dani, and will consider buying one during a post-christmas sale. I have been turned on by you to Brora, but then turned off by their prices! Someday... ;)
