Why I Love Cardigans

[listersgirl]

They're soft and comfortable (at least the good ones are).

They can be scrunched up into a little ball and shoved into a bag, unlike coats.

They add instant colour to a monotonous outfit.

They're perfect for people like me who can never decide if they're too hot or too cold.

They don't have to be pulled over your head, so the chances of them getting caught on your glasses are pretty slim.

But most of all, when you've slept through your alarm and can't stop yawning, you can stretch them out and wrap them double across your front, and feel like you're under a blanket.

Funnily enough I was just thinking how much I love the cardigan that I am wearing right now. From a cursory glance it looks like a plain, kind of demure black cardigan, but if you look closer, it has three little skulls and crossbones embroidered on the left lapel. Subtle subversion at work, hurrah!

Sadly it's not big enough to nap under, though.

Heh, fabulous.

Mine's not exactly big enough either, what with being my pretense at fashion. Hence the full-on stretching and wrapping. :)

Weebl!

Cardigans also have the following benefits:

- Wrapable around your head and neck for use as a chic wrap.
- Plethora of buttons to hook your glasses through for geeky fetish look.
- In addition to being easily scrunchable, they outperform coats by easily tying around your waist!
- When in meetings, buttoning and unbuttoning your cardigan is a much preferable fidget to clicking your pen.

Ha! I totally do this. Buttons are highly entertaining.

NAP! I took a short one before other people in my office arrived today. It's all cold and rainy outside, too-perfect napping weather.

They finally turned the heat on in the building, just in time for the weather to stop being quite so ridiculously cold. So I'm very ready for a nap.

Cardigans! THOSE are what I need to buy when I got clothes shopping.

[emiline.livejournal.com]

Gah. I mean go clothes shopping.

[listersgirl]

There is no such thing as too many cardigans.

*nods*

Right now I'm searching everywhere to find a chocolate brown cardigan, but sadly, I haven't had much luck yet.

me too!

I love my Katze und Mädchen hoodie, but when I want to wear the outfits I would wear with it to "dress nice" days at work I want a cardigan, dammit! So far, no dice.

[emiline.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely let you know if I see one.

And the one I'm wearing right now is pure silk from Jigsaw, but cost £22 off Ebay! Hoorah!

[listersgirl]

Wow, classy and a good deal. Score!

They're also good for when you spill half your coffee down your blouse.

[listersgirl]

Word.

These are all the reasons I love flannel shirts, see.

They're a good second choice, but they're not as stretchy, therefore not as entertaining.
