The Reasonably Prudent Law Student

I got this email this morning from Rachel:

Could you put up some business casual cardigans? They just turned on the A/C at my office and it’s cold all day, and I need a sweater but it’s too warm to wear them outside. I need some nice cardigans I can wear to work to stay warm. Thank you!!

Sure thing, Rachel. Cardigans are usually business casual, though, especially if you pair them with nice jeans or pants and a nice top. Well, unless the cardigan has cartoon characters on it. Or, like, rude words.

I’m not making sense anymore, am I? Okay. Here are some pretty cardigans for under $50.

Express - $49.50 in blue, black, grey

Long sleeves so it’ll keep you warm, and a lovely drape. And the blue one is really, really vibrant and eye-catching.

Nordstrom $39 in smoke paprika, cloudy taupe, mineral green, and black

I liked this warm color and the way it’s asymmetrical. And the drape elongates the body, making you look longer and leaner.

Urban Outfitters - $38 in Navy, Dark Green, and Grey

Okay, this isn’t technically a cardigan, but it has the look of one. And it’s double-breasted, which I thought was really interesting.

The Limited - $49.50 in light grey heather, natural heather, peach, and blue

I love the sweaters at the Limited. I own several and they’re so soft and warm and lovely. This one reminds me of something Emma Pillsbury (Glee) would wear, with that corsage up top. Plus, Limited cardigans are just structured to look a little slimming, and that’s always good.

Kohl's - $19.99 in pink, blue, tan, black and white

Kohl’s has a lot of work appropriate attire, like this slub cardigan with the short sleeves. It probably won’t keep you that warm, but I figured it was worth a shot because it’s flimsy and pretty.

Anthropologie - $49.95

Oh, I love Anthropologie so much. And this little wrap cardigan with the button latch is just adorable.

Limited - $39.50 in blue, white, purple, and black

Another cute, short sleeved little cardigan from the Limited. Gosh, it sure is little, huh? Hm.

The Limited - $34.99

Here’s a longer one. I love the soft powder blue color. Did you know that according to color therapy principles, this kind of blue puts people who see it in a good mood?

The Limited - $24.99

Argyle! Argyle! Argyle! I just love argyle. You know, in case that wasn’t obvious.

Anthropologie - $49.95 in white, dark yellow

Another one from Anthropologie. This one’s kind of cropped with the fancy, chunky knit and the beautiful dark goldenrod color, and boy, it looks warm.

So there we have it! A bunch of pretty cardigans you can wear to work. :)
