Draped Cardigan ($24.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: This cardigan (this is not a cardigan, btw) has absolutely no fit so really I shouldn’t spend too much time going on about it. But I’m just going to say I’m not the biggest fan, that’s just a taste thing though because really it’s just a piece of fabric with two holes cut in it for arms, there’s not much to hate. Also in the store it had a safety pin to hold it together and I was not into it but then Sydne was like “It’s actually a trend for fall” and I was still like ew. Anyway, now that I see the model just wearing it all open and free, I kinda feel stupid for wearing the safety pin.
Versatility: I understand that the comfort factor this sweater thing offers is seriously high. So buy it to sip hot chocolate by the fireplace while reading The New York Times Style Section. That’s totally okay with me. Also, grocery store shopping/general errand running is a suitable place to don such a shapeless piece of fabric. Oh, and morning coffee runs but those might fall under general errand running. America’s Next Top Model viewing parties with a few good friends? Yeah, this could work for that. One more! Baby bump concealer.
Trend: I’ve already mentioned the safety pin aspect of it, if that was actually intended. Also, fall is a time when the weather starts to cool so sweaters are huge during this particular season. (Duh. I know you know that.)
Demographic: 20s, lounge-y sophisticate

it looks good on a skinny girl…. unfortunately, it’s not my style.
