We rarely focus on one solitary item of clothing in our reviews at The Pink Mixer. Gone are our days of school uniforms, measured hem lengths, rules about what is and what isn’t appropriate to wear - though, ahem, we do sometimes see people who could use a quick refresher on that topic. The way we see it, fashion is all about self-expression and it just gets boring if we’re all cut from the same cloth, right?
Still, we’ve long been on the hunt for the perfect cardigan. We have quite a few contenders – JCrew and Banana Republic both make some good ones – but it was a recent discovery at the old tried and true, GAP, which lent itself to this post.
GAP, it appears has come full circle in their designs, and we don’t mind telling you we think they’re on the right track as of late. In search of discounted sale items the other day, we swept through the store and excitedly stumbled upon their ruffle trimmed cardigan. We’re a sucker for ¾ length sleeves to begin with, so we fell in love with the cuffed sleeve almost immediately. GAP has been nice enough to give us a variety of colors to choose from and the cotton blend is just perfect for 3 out of 4 season wear. But do you know what pushed us over the edge and had us walk to the counter to shell out some of our hard-earned money? The ruffled trim. It’s that little sweet touch, that dash of femininity, that little extra something that makes this sweater go from ‘just another cardigan’ to the ‘cardigan we reach for without fail’.
Oh, and? It’s on sale. An in-store purchase will even get you another 40% off the already marked down price.
So, hurry! Let’s just not all wear them on the same day okay? Lest it look like we’re back to the ol’ school uniform.
