Inching into fall with an olive green long cardigan.

Long cardigans are another trend I’m loving for fall  because of the drama they lend to a look. Bonus: major coziness. You guys know my love for olive green runs deep, so it was a split second add-to-cart moment when I spotted this long cardigan on the Forever21 site. (This is a great dupe and it’s on sale at ASOS.) A super lightweight knit means I can layer it over bare legs right now while KC still warms up in the afternoons, and later it will be great as a dramatic topper to a leggings + boots outfit combo. I slipped it on over a basic (and pretty summery) t-shirt dress. A body chain and a chain choker set gave this look the little 90’s oomph I’m into these days, and a pair of much-loved brown suede ankle boots anchored it for fall.

I’ve picked up four new long cardigans in preparation for fully embracing cozy knits as a key piece of my fall wardrobe. I’m going to be relying on the trend to cozy up office outfits as well as add some interest to dressed-up looks. Tip: if you’re short, either wear a heeled boot with the look or choose a cardigan that hits at mid-thigh vs. mid-calf. (I really like this version.) Long cardigans for the win in the fall trend department, that’s for sure. Want more fall trends? Check out my Ten Take blogger pals below for their faves.

Did everyone have a great weekend? I posted the first installment of Extra LSR on Saturday; check it out. I introduced intermittent fasting + why I IF, for those interested in the health and fitness game. I also wrapped up Kansas City Fashion Week; what I wore + my coverage of the shows will be up later this week!

    1. Thank you, Gina! I loved the way all that gold played with the bright white- and these boots are old favorites!

  19. Long cardis are my jam! I own at least 5 already and can’t wait to add more to my collection for this season! Also, loving how you jazzed up a simple t-shirt dress and cardi with that fun body chain!

    1. Thanks so much, lady! I’m loving chokers lately, so layering them just seems like the next logical step. 🙂

  22. Hi Ashley. I loved your extra Saturday post first of all and learnt quite a bit from it.

    I too am a huge fan of Olive. I need to head to my F21 and buy this great duster cardigan, both the olive and deep maroon. Love how you styled it over the LWD and those layering gold necklaces and chains, so fun. Actually I am also styling an olive cozy piece on the blog, today. Come take a peak! Thanks.

    1. I’m so glad you found the intermittent fasting post informative, lady! And isn’t olive green the best? 🙂

  32. Love that long duster on top of your white dress! It’s one of my favorite color combos too. I keep hearing these cardigans referred to as dusters probably because of the length, but either way, it’s perfect for transitioning weather.

    1. Yesss- I totally interchange “long cardigan” with “duster” because I hear it called both! With ya, lady. 🙂

  33. I love the fall long cardigan look! And I too am a huge fan of olive green, so I would totally be drawn to this one. I love Forever 21 for simple pieces like this that are trending. That way you don’t have to spend too much money. Very cute look! The white dress makes it so crisp of a look. 🙂

    1. Haha, I survived the dreaded Car Change! It actually wasn’t bad- thankfully, the weather was cool enough that day in KC to where I wasn’t a sweaty mess! 😉

  43. Even more than long fall cardigans, it’s all about long duster coats here in Berlin, and I am so happy for it, as it definitely keeps you warmer than short coats! Love the chain harness too!
