Must Have Monday

An item that you spot and instantly fall in love with is like having a song stuck in your head. As hard as you try, you can't get it out of your mind! Last week I spotted a woman on the street wearing a coat very similar to this. I instantly thought fell in love with it but with no way of knowing where she got it from (she was too far away to approach and ask) I tried to forget about it and go on with my day. Naturally, the next day I spot ANOTHER woman wearing a similar style cardigan/coat while I was at church. Typically spotting two people wearing something before I purchase it would make me probably want it less, but this cardigan/coat seemed like the perfect weekend throw on to combat the already cold weather we're having here in New York.

For the past week I've been frantically searching to find a similar (and affordable) option to this black and white geo patterned oversize cardigan. So far I've managed to find these three options:

The first one is a  Staring at Stars Reversible Knit Cardie from UO which actually probably looks the closest to the original one I spotted on the street. The second one is another Staring at Stars brand Knit Cardie from UO which is slightly less expensive since it's not reversible, and I actually like the pattern more on but wish that the overall color was white with black designs instead of the other way around. Last but not least I found a third option, a Blanket wrap Cardie from ASOS, that looks ridiculously comfy and warm!

  3. I think this is a great piece to just throw on and go. It could work with almost anything. I would put it on to run errands, hang out with my girls or even a date night. I would even think to make it work appropriate.

  4. Love these sweater-coats. I haven't been able to find the right one yet though, but these are great picks (the third one is my favourite)!
