The Chunky Cardigan: Fall Capsule Wardrobe ’21 Outfit 6

Here’s the truth – today I’m wearing pajamas. I’m feeling under the weather, I have my period, and I pulled a muscle in my rib (picking up Gabe – he’s a tank ha!) so I haven’t even thought about getting dressed today. We had a really, REALLY busy week last week, and I always end up getting sick when my schedule is packed… my body just doesn’t love to be that busy and I always end up paying for it later on. So this week we’re planning on keeping things as chill as possible so I (and my kids!) can rest and recuperate. I wasn’t feeling sick yet yesterday, but I was starting to feel worn down and I wanted an outfit that was cozy AND cute to wear to church… so I reached for a floaty dress and a chunky cardigan.

I’m always tempted to go for a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt when I’m feeling tired or under the weather, but honestly? A soft dress and cardigan combo is just as comfy. This chunky cardigan gives the best granny vibes and is a really versatile option for a fall wardrobe (I’ll be doing a full review in my upcoming Everlane review). It looks a bit vintage, but the crop fit is really current! I know not everyone loves a cropped cardigan, but I think they are a really great piece to add to your wardrobe because they look great with a high waisted pair of jeans/pants, they look super cute with a little mini skirt, and they balance out a voluminous dress perfectly. I got this one in a small… I definitely wouldn’t size up because I think you’ll lose out on the intended shape of the cardigan if you go oversized.

    Hi! I love your outfit. I had a question. I’m a pretty petite gal. I’m about 5’1 how short should the cardigan be at bellybutton length or hip. I have some cardigans but they all are hip length. Just want to get an idea as far as porportions, so I don’t look too frumpy.

      Hi Rosie! I think it depends on your torso, but I’m 5’5″ with a really short torso so it would probably hit you in a similar spot – it is pretty cropped either way though!
