The Coral Cardigan


I wasn't sure how to style this Lee & Birch cardigan when it first arrived in the mail. It seemed a bit more frilly than the things I normally wear, and I really wasn't sure I could make it work! I was an instant fan of the rich coral color, but it was the ruffles I was really concerned about; those ended up being my favorite by the end of the day. I paired it with a skirt that I found on the sale rack at Forever 21, which happened to be a near perfect color match to the cardigan. 

In the end, I really liked this look. It was so much more color than I normally wear, and I loved it. The shoes still scare me to death, but I'm a huge fan of the cardigan.

I'm pretty leery of ruffles as well. I may need to open my mind to them more.
Also, I really dig those turquoise socks with the shoes.

I love the coral cardigan, but I'm more in love with your multicolored skirt and that tote bag!
