It probably comes as no surprise to you, but I’m a huge fan of neutrals, both in home design and in fashion. I love timeless pieces that you reach for time and time again, and this Jenni Kayne cardigan is absolutely one of those pieces. While it is a splurge (and if you keep reading, we have a great budget friendly dupe), it is a wardrobe staple that goes with everything.
Look 1: Casual Chic | Wear to Work or Weekend Wear
A look like this is one of my go to looks most days of the week. There is nothing more classic than a neutral cardigan paired with a straight leg jean. *For the Jenni Kayne cardigan, I’m wearing a small. In the Target dupe, I wear a medium.*

Look 4: Sophisticated Chic | Wear to Work, Weekend Wear & Date Night Attire
Consider this a PSA – this dress is the GOAT. Its flattering on everyone, so soft, and so affordable. I love that it can be dressed down for weekend wear, you can throw it on when you go to the beach, or dress it up for date night with cute cardigan. *For the Jenni Kayne cardigan, I’m wearing a small.

Look 5: Laid Back | Weekend Wear
Honestly time, if you see me on the weekend, there’s a 90% chance I’m wearing this because it’s basically my weekend uniform. I love a basic baseball hat because, hello, it hides greasy hair. Thankfully the cardigan makes me feel a *little* more pulled together and not like a total slob.
