The Painful Truth



About a year ago I wrote a post about my obsession with cardigans. And since they are such a huge part of my life, I found it necessary to write yet another post about this particular item of clothing. The other day someone asked me how many cardigans I had. I wasn't sure, but said 10-15. I knew it couldn't be more than that. So anyway, this morning before work I had a little extra time, and as I was wearing a cardigan I decided to just count how many I actually had. To my surprise, I passed the 10-15 mark. And then I just kept counting and counting, until I realized the true amount: thirty-four. Yes, THIRTY-FOUR cardigans. It is a sick obsession, and I honestly had NO idea I even owned that many. After this morning, I finally realized that I have some serious issues. But do you think that will stop me from buying more? I highly doubt it.

* This image is me with all of my cardigans with the exception of one (which is the one I wore to work today). You'll at least notice that I have a fairly wide variety of colors.

Seriously though, what's better than a pretty cardigan. They are always the first thing I look at when shopping. By the way, you look extra pretty in that picture;)

Love it!!! It's kind of a fun obsession... unless you become one of those people that hoards until they can't get out their door. I just had this vision of you trying to climb over cardigans to get out your door... made me laugh.
