Thankful for: cardigan sweaters

Since this is the month of giving thanks, I thought I'd blog about some simple pleasures that I enjoy. Today I want to talk about one of my favorites: the cardigan sweater. Every year when the weather starts to change and there is a cool breeze in the air I want to run and put on a cardigan sweater. Honestly, I have short sleeve cardigans so that I can wear them all year. I don't buy clothes as often as I'd like to, but I've got a little collection of my favorite comforting clothing item. Stripes, dots, dark, light, even purple (and I don't usually like purple): my cardigan collection is diverse. If you have a shirt that is stained or ripped, or ill-fitting, or faded, a cardigan sweater can cover it up. It floats over my muffin top, and wraps around me like a hug. Cardigan sweater, you are my friend!

What are you thankful for?

I'm am thankful for hoodies for all the same reasons! I'm not a fan of the cold, but I sure do love throwing on a warm hoodie.

The hoodie is wonderful - like a cardigan with a hat!

Gretchen, you are absolutely adorable! I love love love me some cardigans AND hoodies. I have a large collection of hoodies but my cardigan collection is lacking. You'll have to tell me where you buy all your cute sweaters.
