Cardigan obsession right here — especially J. Crew ones. I know what you're thinking: Cardigans are so prim and proper. Au contraire. They are excellent layering tools and there are more ways to cinch one than simply buttoning (try buttoning in the back or doing an old-school tie knot in the front). You don't want to know how many gray cardigans I have — my go-to for travel and lazy Sundays — so I'm thinking I need some punchy colors for the shorter days and colder nights. Call it cardi therapy. This J.Crew Crystal-button colorblock cardigan ($118) outshines the rest. The "silver honey" color is, in fact, punchy and the crystal buttons deliver my daily does of bling. Take note from SJP and pair this with my purple funky booties.

    I have always loved cardigans, they are such a staple in my wardrobe! I probably have one in every color.

    I had a crazy cardigan collection back when I was in school. They were kind of my trademark... I've since gotten rid of most of them, but I think it's time to re-stock a bit.

    I love cardies and have a nice little collection of punchy colours, prints, and vintage. This one looks great, I'm gonna check it, thanks!

    me + J. Crew = HUGE problem, with the bank account, that is! Do they have this in other colors? Because I look awful in yellow but I'm a little obsessed with that one... not that I didn't just spend $100 on cardigans at Ann Taylor the other day or anything...

    Come on, dears. Call a spade a spade. That is MUSTARD.

    I love cardis too! And it's weird...because I didn't realize until relatively late in life how great they were. I recently picked up a supa cute mustard cardi from JCrew that has a sweet little ribbon...and a great long boyfriend black cardi! ;op

    I love this outfit!!! What a great idea...keep a neutral backdrop and add a great punch of color with a cute bright cardi! I also happen to love Jcrew styling...such great ideas of how to put outfits together.

    My trick with J.Crew cardi sets: Wear the shell as a sweater vest! It works great for work or on the weekend. Smiling

    Yeah I was just in J Crew a couple of weeks ago and they had a large selection of cardigans. Unfortunately, they were out of my price range.
