Cardigan Saga Continued

My cardigan dilemma may finally be solved! These photos are a sneak peek of the new Richard Chai for Target collection, which will be available in August. (Check out more in the August issue of Nylon.) I love the look of these cardigans, but we've been burned before by a pretty picture so we'll have to wait until August for the final judgement. We'll be outside the door when the store opens that day.

Is it just me or is the "perfect cardigan" an urban myth that continues to elude women everywhere? Now, there are plenty of cardigans out there, but I've come to the painful conclusion that they are all just slightly inferior in one way or another. Besides being the right length, color, fit and style, it's really the weight of it that makes or breaks the whole deal. "Paperthin" is how I would describe the cardigan of my dreams and so soft you want to wear it to bed at night.

But, alas, no such cardigan under $50 has yet been spotted. I did, however, recently purchase the above Ann Taylor Loft cardigan out of desperation this week. While the weight is perfect and the color is fun, I wish the sleeves were a bit longer and just...slouchier maybe? Nonetheless, its already filled a big void in the closet and I'm wearing it with everything.
