Cardigans are such versatile toppers. I wear them year round and they magically compliment everything from casual outfits to the most elegant ones.
As a shorter woman, 5’4″ to be exact, the boyfriend cardigan trend has lasted too long for me because those cardigans are just too long on me. Ha! Anyway, I am so excited to see the reemergence of the cropped cardigan this summer. Now I can step into any store and find a great cardigan that fits.
Here are a couple cropped cardigans that I have recently being eying and finally decided to buy.
1. Animal print cardigan from Old Navy ($24, but bought with Oprah 50% discount, final price $12)
This cardigan had me at the animal print. But, ON elevated the chic by adding an open front and 3/4-length dolman sleeves.
Cardigan—Old Navy
Camisole—Old Navy
Pants—Loft
Shoes—Tahari via SmartBargains
2. Floral cardigan from H&M ($24.95)
This cardigan was seriously calling my name. It has a darling floral print set in one of my favorite hues this summer-orange. I am also excited by the subtle yet chic puff sleeves.
Cardigan—H&M
Dress—Loft
Belt—The Limited
Shoes—Tahari via Nordstrom
I love cropped cardis and jackets too, yours are super cute. I can't believe you're 5'4, I thought you were at least 5'7!
Love the cropped cardigans ..they hide those terrible upper arm problems! LOL
Girl, you look great in those cardigans! Though I am petite as well, cropped cardis always make me look strange. You however completely rock them!
i love both of these cardigans and im mad i missed that Oprah discount. totally forgot about it.
I need more cardigans like that! My school is always freezing. It's hard to look springy when you are cold. 🙂
LOVE and WANT that H&M cardi. Did you get it recently? We don't have a store anywhere around here but I'm going to DC in a few weeks and had already planned on hitting one there.
You rock the animal print cc…and I,too, thought you were tall (like me…ha)
It's interesting that you blogged about this! I just bought these cardigans from Target in white and orange
