I thought it would be fun to show the difference a cardigan can make in an overall look, when every other item of clothing is the same.
Here are the looks I came up with:
Cardigan 1- The Limited Rosette Cardigan
Cardigan 2- Club Monaco Zebra Print Cardigan
Cardigan 3- The Limited Pink Cardigan
See how just a change of cardigan can make a difference in your look? I’m obsessed with cardigans because I can never just wear a tank or tee on its own because I get too cold with the AC on. Like I mentioned before, I have a space heater at my desk and I’m still using it even when it’s warm out because the AC blows on me at work and gives me the chills. So a cardi is a must for me!
Before I go, I had to share these links with my lovely readers.
1. A great article about YouTube Beauty Guru Blair Fowler (JuicyStar07). I love Blair’s videos (and her sister Elle’s videos too.) I think there is something genuine about both of them though others may disagree. I think when some starts a YouTube beauty channel to share their love of makeup, fashion etc, that they are truly doing it to connect with an audience who loves those things as much as they do (much like us bloggers.) I don’t think anyone goes into it thinking “this is going to make me famous.” I think to do videos nearly everyday or to blog daily, you have to be passionate about what you’re talking about. Otherwise, you would just be completely transparent. What do you think about YouTube Beauty Gurus? For those interested, my faves are (bolded selections are my TOP faves)
2. A link for a 15% OFF coupon for SEPHORA (can be used by anyone until 04/19). Thanks Annie for sending this to me!
3. This little tidbit: Abercrombie & Fitch was named one of America’s worst companies by Corporate Responsibility Magazine.[NYTimes] …see, I was right!
4. Blondes Make More Money? According to this study, they do! Thoughts?
5. BIG thank-you to Taylor at A Little Bit of Everything for giving my blog a “Sunshine Award”. Thank you so much <3
Thanks for reading…feel free to comment on anything…cardigans, YouTube Gurus, Blondes making more money, A&F being blacklisted…

ugh, i can't stand abercrombie either!! their employees are useless, and the store is waaaayy overpriced for the quality.
the cardigans look great!! i like all looks, and yes cardigans are a must. i'm always cold.
looks like i watch a lot of the same youtube beauty vids….
Not shocked about A&F at all. They totally deserve it. It seems like they would rather ignore every issue that pops up, then to take the time to learn from it. I wonder what will be the final nail in the coffin will be for them…because it has to be coming.
I am totally obsessed with cardigans! I love all three of yours! And if blondes make more money, perhaps I need to go platinum… 🙂
I don't really like elle & blair, mainly because they lied about a few things, then threatened some little girls… just kind of weird, IMO. I feel like they are smart girls & can be entertaining, but don't belong in the makeup world. They just apply their makeup pretty average, nothing special.My favorite is Kalel Cullen (queenbeeuty) I wish she hadn't deleted alot of her videos, she had some good stuff!
I really hope that blondes make more, if so then I'm in luck when I graduate college 🙂
I love You Tube gurus!! But then again, I'm a little bias because I used to be one!;)
I got a little freaked out about how clients would react to my YT guru life, so I recently deleted every one. :O I miss making videos though…
I've found some really great friendships in many of those girls and I ♥ them! 🙂
I'm the cardi-girl among my friends! I love cardigans! They are so versatile and you made such a great point in how a cardigan can change an entire outfit! Love it! ♥
We do not have A&C in my country (Norway) so I don't how awful A&C really is, but I read about it on your blog, and from what I read, it is not weird.. There are too many people that have service jobs, but aren't made for it..
And I aaadore Blair and Elle. They seem so sincere, nice and fun so I really like watching their videos. My fav youtube guru is TiffanyD though 😉
V-Did you get that last Limited Cardigan recently? I really like it. I can't remember you posting about it before though.
Wow. Adorable blog! So cute. 🙂 I'll totally be following.
Xox.
I live in cardis…they are so practical and cute. Love them!
P.S. that Abercrombie comment made me giggle 🙂
I'll have to check out some of those videos when I get home…
I'm also a huge fan of cardigans. You can wear them so many different ways and it's so easy to put outfits together with them:)
blondebunny- it's funny that you say you don't like elle and blair because they are liars…when Kalel Cullen made an entire video admitting she lied about nearly everything she told people on YouTube including that she is a student etc…(which I actually commend her for, it's great she was honest.) I don't think there is anything wrong with using a fake name on YouTube to protect your identity. I also think it is crazy that some people spend hours of their day trying to "prove" that a YouTube star is lying about something. I think some people just take it too seriously (like the person who made the website saying they are liars etc.) I just think it's too much drama and they are just girls doing what they love who happened to get famous. Just my thoughts on this, I respect everyone else's opinions too 🙂
Janine- the hot pink cardi was from about 4 months ago and the baby pink one I got maybe 2 months ago?
I told my husband about that Jezebel post, and his response was, "Maybe you should go blonde!" I don't know if it would be a good look for me, but as a life long brunette it would be interesting to see how the other side lives.
PS-the light pink cardigan with roses is now on sale at The Limited…$29.99 I think:) I saw it in a store though…I'm not sure about online.
darn! I paid like $59 for it! but i just had to have it so I don't regret it!
I just love the light pink limited rose cardigan! so cute!
I love the zebra top with it!
OK blondes make more money? I am shocked! Because as a blonde I feel like I have to work so hard to prove myself… especially since I have a bubbly personality – blonde + bubbly = bad combo for people automatically assuming your a bimbo!

(PS! Check out my first giveaway V!)
Veronika.. you're right Kalel did lie quite a bit, I totally forgot about that incident! I think Kalel handled the situation a little bit better than Elle and Blair. I agree with you though, you can't take it too seriously, they probably never planned on being so popular on You Tube so stuff happens.
I am totally obsessed with cardigans, too. You are right- they can really make an outfit.
I nominated you for the Sunshine Award.
Funny thing – the girls that do the "haul" videos are from my area. They are actually in my hometown shopping during the Good Morning America bit.
Love your blog!
