Alrighty, alrighty…I am back today wearing yet another BRIGHT colored cardigan. It’s safe to say that I am overly ready for spring with all these bright colored fashion posts, yea?
Sick.of.the.cold. Understatement!
I know some of you may consider cardigans “boring”, but I beg to differ. Cardigans are fabulous, in my humble conservative opinion, when you layer them with a tank and scarf {or fun necklace}.
It’s spring break here…yet we have no spring break plans.
How’s that for boring? As you can imagine I am getting NOTHING accomplished with a certain five year old who is bossing me around.
I wonder where he got his bossy pants from? Pssst. Surely not his mother.
Ok, confession. I may be the bossiest person on the planet.
Even when I try not to be…I’m bossy. It’s a character flaw for sure. I used to be bossy and always right. Now, for my husband’s sake, at least I can admit I am not always right.
Ahem.
I am completely stoked that my MIL arrives on Sunday and will be staying with us for over TWO weeks. Ahhhh, a break from motherhood is on the horizon. Let’s all do a happy dance together, shall we?
She is coming to town to stay with the boys while my hubby and I head off to Dallas for a few days. Like I mentioned {many many times}, I will be going to Blissdom.
The husband has a mastermind meet up in Dallas with some of the personal finance bloggers so it works out VERY nice that we can fly there together. It’s sure to be a inspiring weekend for both of us.
Ok, how did I get so off topic here? I thought this was supposed to be a fashion post. I clearly have a problem focusing.

Super cute as always!! I love that scarf…the colors are awesome! I’ve got some bossy spring breakers on my hands this week too. And since Parker was sick all week last week, let’s just say I am SO READY for Blissdom next week! ๐

I just adore that scarf with the yellow cardigan. I love yellow! Have fun in Dallas!
Lindsey says
Mandy- you look absolutely adorable as usual! I am with you on pairing the cardigan with a cute tank or scarf! I just splurged a little and bought some cute cardigans just for that reason lol!! ๐
Niki @ My Life Remixing says
I don’t know if I can pull off a cardigan, I guess I will find out once I lose this weight. You look beautiful! I hope you have a great time at Blissdom and that your hubby has fun meeting up with his finance peeps. ๐

– I love cardigans, I wear them like 80% of the time, and as you say, when you combine them with a nice scarf and perhaps with some nice earrings, it`s great! and also very versatile, you can dress it up or down, depending on the situation.

Well, if I were having a fabulous Spring Break…and I wasn’t in my pajamas for the past three days…and I wasn’t sick…and I was going to wear a cardigan…I have a beautiful fuschia one with little rhinestone buttons that I absolutely love! But alas…I am in my pj’s and not in my beautiful cardigan. Maybe I will bring it to BlissDom! I hear it can get cold in those conference rooms. By the way, you look great in yellow…I can never pull that color off.

Cardigans are possibly the best pieces one can have in their wardrobe, IMO!! I would die without them (ok, not literally, but you know what i mean, i hope). I am always cold, so layering is important. Plus it helps to dress up a plain slouchy tee or a tank.
Jenny Collier says
Love your flats! The perfect Spring outfit.
So wish I was going to Blissdom. Maybe next year!
Kala says
I’ve been accused of being a cardigan hoarder before…and told that I should purchase any more cardigans when I go shopping. I love them!
Also, next fall I am jumping on the scarf-tastic bandwagon. I know you can pull them off for spring (as you are doing) but I feel like spring is an awkard time to START your collection, so fall it will be! Enjoy your “spring break”!
Lori says
I just want to say that every time you say you are going to Blissdom soon & that it is Dallas – I wish that I was blogging too (so don’t have time to start yet another thing to do) so I could be there – I’m south of Dallas on the Gulf Coast of TX…would love to meet you.
Brittney @teaberrytrails says
I LOVE that scarf and adore any color cardigan! Cardi’s def aren’t boring, so rock on ๐
Amanda says
I love this! The scarf, shoes, and cardi go great together – not a combo I would’ve thought of, but it works. ๐
Caroline says

Love those colors. So fresh and bright. I also love cardigans in every length. My 10 year old daughter calls them old lady sweaters. Ha!
Kenzie @ Life According to Kenz says
Gorgeous as always! LOVE those colors for spring lady!
Cardiganz says
Flowery scarf is giving extra touch and looks younger than original. Like it
