The Perfect Fashion Union: The Jardigan!

If you’re like me, no matter HOW hot or cold it is… you still want a little something to cover up. Here in Texas, they love blasting people with AC as soon as you walk into the building, so you gradually turn into a popsicle. It might be 102-degrees outside, but inside I’m shivering.

Anyways, that’s what  makes it ABsolutely necessary for me to bring either a jacket or cardigan wherever I go. And sometimes it’s a battle to choose between the two. 

I love the polished look of a jacket, but sometimes you just want to feel a bit more relaxed and cozy. I also like the comfort of a cardigan but sometimes (especially if I have a structured shirt underneath), it just doesn’t feel “enough”.

If only…  someone mashed them together… like milk chocolate and peanut butter…  to create a comfortable jacket/blazer in a soft, knit fabric!

If only….

Et voila! Ladies it is here!

I’m happy to introduce to you today (drum roll, please)... “The Jardigan!” The perfect blend of a structured, polished jacket with the comfort of a soft knit cardigan. Oooh la la!!

There are 3 things I especially  like about it:

ONE

What I really enjoy about the jardigan is its versatility. You can pair it over a nice blouse and trousers for the office, or you can just throw it over a white tee, jeans, and tenny’s and run out of the house for a casual day running errands!

TWO

Another added bonus is that you can roll it up and toss it in your bag, in case you need it. If not, just leave it! You CAN’T do that with a typical jacket, as you’ll warp the shape and wrinkle it.

THREE

It’s an amazing travel jacket! You never know when you have to look a bit more polished and this is PERfect for popping on and upping your Look. Plus, who likes to sit on a plane in a stuffy structured jacket?! Comfort is key!

Here are a few options I recommend for your shopping!
