Cardis are useful if you work in an office like i do, as some days it's freezing and other days roasting. I think you can get some lovely cardis now so they don't have to be vile.
I'm not a big fan of the male cardi though, they just look weird.
I have just bought a pale brown very soft knit rouched sleeve waist fit cardigan from principles, it was reduced from �45 to �30 and i got my corporate discount off it too cos I work for the same group, I love it and now i am looking for a calf length winter weight pencil skirt in brown tweed to go with it.
I love my cardis. I am wearing my favourite "comfort cardi" now.
Do you find dot that when you know exactly what you want to buy none of the shops have any? Always happens to me!
I love cardigans because they are so easy to take on and off and they don't disturb your clothing or your hair ( not that I have much ) . I recently bought a beautiful woollen one with collar and pockets from Matalan for �12 compare that with �81 for the Cashmere one advertised in today's paper and that was after �38 discount.
