Okay, so some of you may know that I love clothes that can be worn multiple ways, like the convertible dress and the two layered wrap skirt. I now have a new love and it's called the wrap cardigan! Apparently, I've been living under a rock because the wrap cardigan has been around for a while but I haven't discovered it until now.
My first glimpse of the wrap cardigan was when one of the blogs I read mentioned the DKNY Cozy. Curious, I went to the DKNY site and watched all the "how to wear" videos and promptly started drooling. Every few days for months, I would look up DKNY Cozy and drool. Yes, I really, really wanted it, but couldn't stomach the high price. Finally, hubby got tired of my constant drooling and convinced me to get it. This will mean many, many days of cheap lunches, but I splurged and got one anyways!
So is it everything I thought it would be? Is it as wonderful and versatile as it looks in the videos? The answer is YES and YES! The fabric is actually quite thin, which it has to be or the wrapping and the tying would get really bulky. The material is a combination of silk and cashmere, providing breathability, comfort and warmth. I am actually surprised at how warm it is, especially when using the wrap look. There are also tons of videos online on how to wear a wrap cardigan, giving ideas on how to wear it other than the ways that the DKNY site showcases.
I can't say as of yet if it was worth the cost, considering I only just got it and don't know how often I'll be wearing it. However, since I got this thing, I haven't stopped playing with it or wearing it. I can actually imagine myself wearing it quite often.
