Oversized Cardigans

 Hey ladies! 

This is the first post on my blog and I'm very excited to share with you all some new fashion tips. With this cold weather, oversized cardigans are in - and I can tell why. They are cozy and easy layers; you can use cardigans as sweaters or shirts. This is how I styled mine was in Houston. I knew I wanted to go to this super cute cupcake atm, so I decided to match with the aesthetic. But here’s the thing, they can sometimes be unflattering. Below are some general guidelines I stick to when wearing them.

You might ask, "How do I wear an oversized cardigan without looking frumpy?" 

Well this is how:

1. Consider the weight of the cardigan when you buy it. You should look for a nice, heavy material but also one that isn’t overly “puffy” if you know what I mean. Overly puffy sweaters = puffy appearance
2. Layer a top underneath that fits nicely. Think a fitted t-shirt, cami or a turtleneck. Do not add a thick weight, bulky top underneath. 
3. Consider wearing a high waisted jean and tucking your top in to visually create/save your waist line. Like I did in the picture. Having a waist below all that material is a good thing!

Keep in mind you should not wear a cardigan more than a size larger. This will make you look a little boxy. 

Here are a couple of examples 😊
