THIS AIN'T YOUR GRANDMA'S CARDIGAN

The one Fall item I cannot live without is a cardigan. This style staple has been in my wardrobe for a long time, dating back to my high school uniform days.  It is the perfect layer for our Florida 'winters' and an easy way to leave the house feeling cozy and classic. My addiction is cashmere. There are some well-priced cashmere pieces out there and if you collect classics and take care of them they will last you for many a season.  A good style staple investment.

Throw one over your jean shorts and a long sleeve tee as a transitional layer, or squeeze in to those skinny jeans and throw a black one on for insta-good outfit.

SLIGHTLY OBSESSED: THE CARDIGAN

The cardigan has long been a style staple for me. The coat thing was of course a necessity growing up in Toronto. But living in LA, SF and now FL, the cardigan is the perfect layer for these climates. I always carry one in my car no matter the time of year, as frigid air conditioned stores and restaurants are a given here. 

Simply put, I cannot go a day without wearing one. And the key to my happiness is cashmere. A whispy tank top and a light weight cashmere cardi for a summer night out. A long sleeved tee and a thick coat-like cardi for a chilly day. Ask any of my friends and they will tell you the one thing they pretty much never see me without is a cashmere cardigan. 

With leggings, boyfriend jeans or a dress and a killer pair of boots, the cashmere cardigan is the perfect piece to invest in. I can't tell you how many miles I have trekked in mine. There are few things I will splurge on, and cashmere is one of them. Try one - I promise you will coo with delight when you slip it on.
