Whenever a season change gets close, the weather here in Virginia gets cray. Our August has had cool days, cool mornings, blazing hot days and disgusting humid days so far. This craziness will probably last well into October. When the crazy weather hits, the thing I end up wearing the most, is a cardigan. I’ve always been a cardigan girl. I tend to be cold, all of the time, especially in air conditioned spaces, so I carry a cardigan, you can imagine, I’ve seen my fair share of cardigans. When you find something special, you have to share it, so I give you…the best cardigan for summer to fall.

The Best Cardigan For Summer To Fall
This Halogen cardigan was a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale score. However, I also have a linen version that I purchased pre-sale, and you better believe I’m going to buy more of these cardigans. This cardigan is so soft and launders well! I know sweaters can sometimes be a hot mess after one wash, but this one held up! My only complaint, I must have brushed up against something with my booty, in it, because right around one of the hips, it has pilled a little. No where else, so I’m going to assume I snagged it?! I don’t know, it’s a mystery and one that made me pretty sad. However, did you know you can shave pilled sweaters? So I did that, and the problem was solved! It runs large, I’m wearing a petite xxs.
Where To Wear The Halogen Cardigan
I wore this outfit on a particularly cool day here, so don’t get all hot and bothered just yet. Underneath I’m wearing a light tank top , which my husband likes to make fun of. I personally love the ruffled collar, he thinks I look like Dr. Evil…the reason I don’t take fashion advice from my husband. The shoes are another Nsale find. I originally ordered the pewter pair and loved them! After seeing the blush version on Living In Yellow, I decided I needed those too (and maybe everything else in her closet). These flats are comfortable right out of the box, which is hard to find. The only complaint I have, which is the same with all pointed toe shoes, I can’t keep from dragging my feet and scuffing the front! I already have a scuff on the front of these, ugh! Moving on, since we’re talking sale finds, I also picked up this bag during the Nsale. It’s faux leather and pretty darn affordable, and I love it! I love my Chelsea28 scalloped tote I carried this summer, but wanted a fall version. I used to be all about a cross body bag, but since enjoying all that I can carry in a big tote (including my jumbo lilly planner) I’m a tote girl now. The tote sold out in this color but is still available in black and a similar one can be found here.
I’ve worn this cardigan so much since it arrived on my doorstep, like I’m not ashamed to admit. What is your favorite clothing item currently?

I love a good lightweight cardigan and really loving the length on this one! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
These pictures are so adorable of you! I love the ruffle on your tank! It gives it such a great detail! August is always our hottest month, so we only wear sweaters inside because the AC is cranked up too high! Love this cute look, perfect for fall transition!
Xoxo,

That is such a cute cardigan! I have a grey cardigan and I’ve been wearing it so much lately! I wasn’t really a big cardigan wearer but not I have kids it’s the softest cosiest way to dress and yet you can still throw them in the washing machine when a toddler gets to them, haha! 🙂
Hope you had an awesome weekend!

It seriously looks like the best weight to it. I pretty much live in cardigans with how cold they keep my office!
Oh wow this looks so good – this is something I would buy – it fits so well and the length is perfect.
I love a good cardigan, but that tank top???? So so good!!
I have never been a cardigan person but I LOVE a light cardigan like this for when I am traveling for work! This is darling girl! And thank you for the very kind words!

Our weather has been really weird here too. I love the color and length of this cardigan. Such a nice transition piece! Beautifully Candid
I am always cold too, so I live in cardigans as well. I love the length of this one! And that ruffle neck tank is adorable underneath!

BROOKE!!!! How did I not already know you live in Virginia???? Where? I’m from VA and lived there my entire life until 7 years ago. Now for the cardigan. I’m waiting on mine exactly like yours to come in…it’s on backorder and so is the black one I ordered. I got the blush and it was so soft but decided to return it because I kept the blush Leith circle cardi. Can’t wait to here where you live.
You look beautiful in that cardigan Brooke! My favourite item of the moment is a white tee. It’s classic, timeless and so versatile! Love how you paired your cardigan with the lace-up flats! So stunning! xo, Vivian

Love your Lilly planner and I might buy one myself.
Thank you Ada! I love my lilly planner! It’s the one thing that keeps me organized!
I knew we could be buds! I’m from Richmond, lived here my whole life. 😀 I really want to buy more of those cardigans, but I know I would wear them like every day haha. I need a few more styles to keep my wardrobe from being the same every day! Maybe Ill try the Leith circle cardi!
