wrap a doodle doo

previously, on the-e-stylist... the wrap cardigan gets involved in a tangled love affair with the stylist... try as they might, they cannot live apart...

ever since i stumbled upon my first wrap cardigan a few years ago, i have been obsessed. first off, it's a cardi. which is hands down the best upper body item of clothing to own. secondly, it sort of doubles as a scarf-ular type item, which is the best above the shoulder item ever invented. first came discovery, next came purchase, followed by collection. i have several, and love them all. cotton, cashmere, you name it. one for every season.

along with the lovely jewelry item gifted to me by my lovely bf, i received this new addition to the collection. the color is gorge, and it goes with everything known to man. and some things not yet known, i'm sure. it's a cotton/cashmere blend, so it is soft beyond reason and warm to boot. in addition to all things i already know and love about the wrap cardigan - i discovered yesterday that it also doubles as a perfectly brill nap blankie. who knew? well now i do. just more to love.

well lookie here....

ye olde JCrew, purveyor of fine basic goods since ... well since a long time ago, gives good sweater. it's true. they do. they are excellent quality, they have an amazing color range and they are not over priced.

i decided today at some point that i was desperately in need of a LONG cardigan. now, i must say here that i have (and have always had) a lot of cardigans. my friend kim makes fun of me and calls me cardigan lady. i have always worn them regardless of whether they were in or out of "style" at the moment. what i do NOT necessarily have is a nice long cardigan. the craving kicked in today. i guess the ac made me chilly. to add to this - i got the new JCrew catalogue in the mail. and inside.... the perfect perfect perfect long cardigan. i would style it completely differently than in this pic - i'll be puttin this bad boy over tees and leggings and jeans; belting it - wide, skinny, you name it; chunkin on the jewelry. i love it. i might have to get a couple of them...

seek and ye shall find my friends. the force is strong!

ps -also some super cute bags and jewelry going on in the JCrew right now! check it out!!!
