Nebr.cruiser Posted September 12, 2014 #51 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nebrcruiser, if you go online to Kohls, make sure you don't get the polyester Vera Wang flyaway cardigan, I took it back as it was cheesy. The other Vera Wang is a lightweight (washable) wool (just below) hip length flyaway & is lovely. Both run true to size. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks for the advice--fly away cardigans do not look good on me--I've tried them on. Unfortunately, I can't wear wool, so back to the hunt.

jday1229 Posted September 12, 2014 #52 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have a ton of cardigans and they are all from Target or Old Navy, under $30. Classic styles in cotton, come in a variety or colors, and look great with everything from capris to dresses. Like anything cotton, hang them to dry of you want them to look good for a long time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted September 13, 2014 #53 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Never tried Old Navy. I'll ck them out Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddycat Posted September 13, 2014 #54 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm in the hunt for a new black cardigan--again! I had one stolen on a Med cruise from off my lounge chair (pretty sure I saw it walking around later--who does that?) and left one in the tour van at the airport in Santiago, Chile last December. I had looked and looked for both of them; they were just what I wanted. A little below waist length, not too long in the sleeves (I have short arms and hate rolling sleeves) and nice and soft and comfy. Also very inexpensive and washed like a dream. Back to Herberger's where It think I got them both. I promise to guard them with my life! If you are interested in a classic 100% cotton cardigan, look at LlBean and Lands End.

critterchick Posted September 15, 2014 Author #58 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) In looking for your black cardigan I found 3 that are now living in my closet (& I wasn't looking for any ��) One merino wool (that I love) flyaway, one tissue thin (just cause) by Elle & one from Kohls that should arrive Mon. All black. I also found a pewter Ann Taylor with Pearl buttons that was intriguing. It's a disease ��. Melody Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sorry to be your enabler.:p It doesn't need to be. Their clothing is very well made and will last triple the life expectancy of the $40 Jaclyn Smith WalMart sweater that will be a pilled, faded mess after one season. It's well worth spending the extra money on classic styles from quality retailers that you'll wear for the next 15+ years. I have an Eileen Fisher black cardigan sweater, merino wool blend, that is 16 years old and still like new. I paid $120 or so for it. Had I been buying crap from low and lower end stores I would have replaced it at least seven times by now. Do the math. I understand your rationale entirely and if I were still working full time the original Eileen Fisher that still haunts me (I check for a sale every day) would be a no-brainer. But $378 for a cardigan that I will wear on 2-3 trips per year is insanity at my age (61 on Friday, happy birthday to me!). I am looking forward to seeing how my $75 J. Crew (that I got for $50:D) wears. I still have some wonderful expensive clothing from my full time days that will never wear out. But I have no occasion to wear them except once in a blue moon if I have to go to court, so I need to donate most of them.

Bonnie Voyager Posted September 15, 2014 #59 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I LOVE my lightweight "Girlfriend Cardigan" from White House Black Market! It is super-soft and very nice quality! I expect to have it for years! http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=1&pageId=1&productId=570119017&viewAll=&prd=Long+Sleeve+Black+Girlfriend+Cardigan&subCatId=&color=001&fromSearch=true&inSeam=&posId=1&catId=&cat=&onSale=&colorFamily=&maxPg=1&size= Edited September 15, 2014 by Bonnie Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted September 18, 2014 #60 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Uniqlo just released their merino sweaters for fall - revamped and now washable! (I have always hand washed) On sale now - $19.90. Will it last a long time? No. But TONS of colors available. And if you're prone to losing things while you travel (or, like me, need to have sweaters in various offices & cars) it's a nice deal! Crew necks, v necks, and cardigans http://www.uniqlo.com/us/women/featured/extra-fine-merino.html?utm_source=NL-20140917W&utm_medium=email&utm_content=TOPBNRW&utm_campaign=WK38-091714-SWTPRMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherilyn70 Posted September 18, 2014 #61 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I knew I shouldn't have come back and read the boards, lol. Now I peeked at the White House Black Market store and found multiple items on markdown that I want! Problem is I'm now officially on social security disability insurance now and stuck at home all day with no where to wear them too. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Edited September 18, 2014 by sherilyn70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyaheel Posted September 25, 2014 #63 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sierra Trading Post had a 40% off everything coupon last night so my husband and I ordered a few things (I had a store credit from my last returns....) One thing I ended up with is a linen blend black cardigan. Hope it fits :p http://www.sierratradingpost.com/royal-robbins-pacific-heights-cardigan-sweater-cotton-linen-for-women~p~6485f/?filterString=s~linen-cardigan%2F&colorFamily=01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted September 25, 2014 #64 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I found a lovely black cardigan with black and white "seed pearls" on the front plackets. I love it. I found it at Ross for $19.99. It will work perfectly for our 31 day South America cruise we will soon embark on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted September 25, 2014 #65 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Going through my closet I just found a black cardigan that I apparently bought on sale last winter--it's perfect. I guess memory isn't my long suit! So until I lose this one, I'm good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted October 27, 2014 Author #66 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Epilogue: I brought the J. Crew black cardigan with me on our Italy trip. I got less wear out of it than I had thought I would, since I also had a fleece for our pre-cruise stay in Scanno and the Abruzzo national park. But I loved having it with me. And my Eileen Fisher cardigan that started this thread went on sale at Nordstrom's and Dillard's this weekend, 40% off, so I splurged.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
