This cardigan is inspired by the last green fields to turn fallow, those that are often home to a wide variety of wildflowers, brambles, and thistles that add to the kaleidoscope of colors. The combination of simplicity and elegance- with careful attention to detail- make this sweater an easy layering piece. Hitting just at the hips, the fitted silhouette and open fronts flatter the figure. A stylish alternative to a favorite sweatshirt, this sweater can also be dressed up with the addition of a wide belt at the waist.
