Wrap Cardigan Love!

One of the things I planned to make this new year was one of those drapey jersey cardigans that I see popping up everywhere. Well, to be honest, I was really tempted to buy one several times, but I kept reminding myself that I sew now. Those cardis look like something I could really make. Of course, wanting to sew something, and actually sitting down to design and sew it is something different altogether. Luckily for me, Megan created a wonderful version and very generously shared it with her readers! I used a lovely red double knit that has been waiting to be turned into something wonderful.

How much do I love this cardigan? So very much! It's wonderfully versatile, but my favorite way of wearing it is with a belt.
I don't usually describe my attire, but as a tribute to Megan and her love for personal style blogs, here goes.

Wearing: Megan Nielsen Cardigan Wrap, random black top from my dresser , Forever21 double braided belt in dark brown and skinny jeans from AƩropostale.



Mmmmmm (low humming). Whoop sizzle, whoop sizzle.

Er... I was trying to make a lightsaber sound, in case that failed to translate through words.
My girls and I were having fun at the science museum.
Yes, I'm a dweeb.
