Helping women love what they wear on a budget

3 Ways to Wear a Green Cardigan with PinkBlush

September 7, 2018 by Katie Haller

I feel like everywhere I look on Instagram, all I see are fall clothes.  Sweaters, cardigans, jeans, booties…all my favorite things.  The only thing that I’m wondering is how is everyone wearing all their fall clothes so early?  Is it really that cool in the rest of the country?  I don’t think so.  In Las Vegas, our summer last FOREVER.  Fall is a really hard season for me because I want to wear all my favorite fall clothes, but it doesn’t cool down until at least November.  I don’t know about you, but I can’t force myself to wear a sweater when it’s 100 degrees outside.  One thing that always helps me get through the warm falls is to transition into my fall clothes.  I love to mix my fall clothes with my summer clothes to create transitional fall looks that are still comfortable to wear when it is warm out.

For today’s post, I want to share 3 transitional fall look with my new olive green cardigan from PinkBlush.  There are so many things that I love about this cardigan.  First of all, I love the color.  Olive green is the perfect fall color.  I also love the detail of the brown quilted elbow patch.  They make me feel like I’m ready to go riding or something.  I also love the material of this cardigan.  It’s not a sweater knit, it feels more like a sweatshirt.  It’s actually quite warm.

Look 1: Distressed jeans and flip flops
For my first look, I wore my favorite pair of cuffed distressed jeans and a black tank.  For shoes, I kept it super casual with my leopard print flip-flops.  I felt like flip-flops help keep that laid back warm-weather feel.

Look 2: Denim Skirt and knotted tank
For this look, I wanted to wear my denim skirt.  I’ve been loving this jean skirt all summer long and I plan on wearing it through out the fall.  I styled it with my white tank top that I knotted, because I’ve been knotting all my tops lately.  For shoes, I dressed it up with my strappy sandals.

Look 3: Shorts and Stripes
It’s hard for me to style something 3 ways without styling it with stripes.  I love all of my striped t-shirts and this one looks great with the green.  I wore it with my favorite jean shorts and wedges from the summer.

I can’t wait to wear this cardigan throughout the fall and winter.  I’m sure I’ll have lots of new ways to style it.  I also have some exciting news on how you can easily shop all my favorite PinkBlush clothes.  You can always shop through my posts, but now you can also follow me, thriftywifehappylife, on the LIKEtoKNOW.it App (HERE)  You will find all my outfits from my Instagram linked for your shopping convivence.  Look for this cardigan and my other PinkBlush favorites!
