There is typical uniform I picture on myself when I think of fall - jeans, boots (now that I found some that fit my calves), a cute top with a cardigan, and a scarf. It is this kind of outfit that is easy to throw on, comfortable, and perfect for almost any occasion in my neck of the woods.
When Kiyonna sent this Sunset Stroll Bellini to me, I was hoping fall would come a lot sooner. I imagined it with an outfit just as I have presented it to you, but the weather has not been cooperative at all. However, today things are cooling down and I foresee getting a lot of wear out of this great piece.
The stretchy fabric of this cardigan is lightweight enough not to be too warm, but also provides nice coverage. I love how it hangs and gathers so beautifully. The three-quarter sleeves are perfect for me because I tend to get too warm in other people's houses in the fall and winter months. Sometimes finding that perfect cardigan for your body temperature is really difficult! This is another reason why this cardigan and I will get along well.
The drawstring gathering has very long, thin ties that can also be used to tie in the back, creating more of a wrap top look. I chose to wear mine more open in the front so all of the colors from my cami could peek out. I am also really, really happy with the longer length of this piece. When I'm wearing skinny jeans and boots, I tend to like more volume and length on top. For reference, I am 5'9" and wearing a size 3X.
Kiyonna is carrying this Bellini in grey, blue, and a new burgundy color!
