When I got off my 6-week shopping hiatus, this “cardicoat” was my very first purchase. Is it a cardigan? Is it a coat? Is it basically a robe that’s socially acceptable to wear outside? It’s all of these things and more. And for those of us in the Midwest who experience approximately 6 different seasons between February and May, it’s a great transition piece.

In 10 years I’ll probably look back on these photos and think, “did I really go outside in a glorified bathrobe and cowboy boots?!” And then I’ll remember, “yes, because the world was on fire and I finally learned to care slightly less about perfection and more about dressing for myself.”
