OH THE SALES. Already! I know everyone is getting all geared up for the festivities next week, but I had to share. I found some seriously great….CARDIGANS.
Sounds boring, I know. After so many years of nursing, I was tempted to burn mine. But these? Are pretty special. So here's a little cardigan round-up for nursing mamas, or for those of you without a cardigan chip on your shoulder.
1. Emmaline Cashmere Cardigan, $258
I love the ribbed detailing on the sleeves, and the fit is completely swingy and pooch-hiding. I also love how this puce green could almost be ugly, but is actually fabulous. This sweater comes in other colors too, and all are pretty spot-on gorgeous. Expensive, but I'm waiting to see if this baby goes on sale after the holiday.
2. Garnet Hill Trees Cardigan, $88
I love the wallpaper-like print. This cardi is dying to be paired with destroyed denim and this graphic tee. (Or a nursing tank. You know.)
3. Whistler While You Work Cardigan, $75 at Modcloth
Seriously cozy. Forget robes – I'd rather curl up with this on Christmas morning. Gah! It's almost gone! I also love this one – such a french-girl vibe. Both would be amazing for nursing mamas.
4. Mango Oversized Houndstooth Cardigan, $89
I can't get enough of the menswear vibe. Nothing boring about this one, and would hide a pooch, too.
5. Proenza Schuler Waffle Cardigan, on sale for $150 at Barney's (warehouse)
You have to see this one close up to really appreciate it. The sleeves are gorgeous, and it has that easy boyfriend-cardi vibe.
6. Oxford Trunk Carrie Cardigan, $28
Cheap and cute. Perfect.
7. Velvet Faux-Leather Cardigan, on sale $118 (plus additional 20% off) at Shopbop
I love faux-leather, but it can be rather uncomfortable. This genius piece keeps the sleeves a sweater-knit, so it's both cozy and badass. (And swingy over a pooch.)
8. BCBG Faux Fur Collar, on sale for $104
I WANT THIS. So comfy yet so glam. Love.
9. Alternative Buffalo Check Cardigan, $98 at Bloomingdales
Yes. Yes, please.
And if you were looking for something for New Year's….Boden is having a sale. I kinda like this one….
It's Boden's Cocktail Cardigan, on sale for $74…or maybe even Boden's swing knit jacket. I'm always a fan of those sweater/jacket hybrids.
Last weekend before Christmas, Mamas! Are you ready?

While I was nursing, I had a sweater from Barney’s that was shaped very similarly to the velvet and faux leather cardigan you show, except that it had snap closures that allowed for a great drape over the front. It cost way more than I would normally spend on a sweater (esp during the postpartum period), but I think I wore it about 5 days per week. Best nursing purchase ever! Even better than a good bra or nursing pillow. Unfortunately I accidentally shrunk it when my son was about 16 months. Now as I’m trying for #2, I’ll look into these suggestions. A functional, stylish cardigan is a nursing essential! Thanks for this!
