So often we think we need to go shopping and buy something new, when really we just need to think outside the box in our own closet.
Exhibit A: belting a cardigan sweater as a top! When I got this chunky cardigan, I thought it would not only be a great layering piece, but also fab on its own. This could also work with a v neck cardigan buttoned up as a top or a loose fitting blazer belted as a top… get creative!
I paired this with faux leather pants, but I think it would look great with high waisted jeans or fitted boyfriend jeans. When the top is chunky knit, I try to balance it out with something more fitted on the bottom so I don’t lose my shape entirely.

Yes girl – get your cardigan out!
I love the belted cardigan look! One of the reasons why I love your style Kathleen is that you always get creative and care more about styling than new pieces. I feel like so often I see bloggers just wear new things and then never wear them again. I love that you get creative and really rewear your pieces and you inspire me as a reader to really get creative in my closet. Love this look! Happy Monday!
