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.

I’m so happy that this year is also the year for a long cardigan, because I can use the ones I have from last year. I also love how they fit to evertything from dresses to jeans and a top.
Long cardigans are my fav too! You look gorgeous. Gemma x

I love both styles but can’t pull them off myself. Looks great on you!
You look lovely! I love your cardigan! 🙂 xx
Did you lighten your hair? Am I crazy? It looks stunning! I haven’t tried the choker trend yet, but the throwback to the 90’s vibe of the entire look keeps my inner childhood alive. (;
Yesss, I’m going blonder! You aren’t crazy. 🙂 Thanks for noticing, girlfriend!
The perfect cardi; the colour goes super well with your hair!

I have one long cardigan but it’s more for Spring as it’s very thin. Definitely need to pick up a thicker one for myself. xx

I love the combination of a short dress and a long, long cardigan – hey, isn’t there a Cake song about that? Seriously, it can be unexpected and is so sexy while also being cozy for this season. As for your olive-colored cardigan, I’m in love. I just wrote a whole post about army green being a super trend – http://thestyletti.com/army-green-supertrend/
Hope you are having a great weekend, Ashley! XO
