I am continuing to adore this magenta cardigan I got for Christmas. I’m discovering that drape cardigans are insanely versatile. Last week, I wore it draped with a pair of skinny jeans and a blouse. For today’s outfit, I paired it with my little black dress and my goldenrod Malibrans. Yellow and magenta was never a color combination I had given consideration before, but now I’m discovering just how great it is.
I love how the soft, light fabric of this cardigan ties up perfectly as a bolero. I tried tying it back as a wrap sweater as well, but I didn’t like the effect, as it visually added bulk. I love how tying it as a bolero adds a bit of waist cinching.
As you may know from previous posts, scoop neck of this dress is really low, and requires some layering underneath to be decent. I originally tried a solid colored blouse for today’s look, but then I decided that adding a bit of black and white pattern would complement the rest of the outfit best.
What color or pattern combination have you tried lately that surprised you?
