can one cardigan make your rainforest wardrobe dreams come true?

YES! Yes it can. And I’ve found it!

I’m not sure if I have been clueless to the cardigan game for the past few years … or maybe it’s just that I lived through the 90’s where come fall they were the rage, and longer was better, and I had my fare share of them? Anyways I just haven’t jumped on a big cardigan train until now. And here we are. Fall 2018 and the 90’s have come back full force! And highlighting all the best parts of 90’s fashion in my opinion.

Every where it’s plaid blazers & skirts, browns, greens, rust colours, turtle necks, french barrette hats, etc etc! And I’m truly okay with it, and trust me, on our last trip to Vancouver I had no problem indulging into a few of these pieces. Today I want to introduce you to the coziest, most perfect shade of a mossy green cardigan.

I was on the hunt…for MONTHS, for this cardigan. I purchased this online, which can be a gamble because not seeing it in person you never know if the colour will be right. Well it was. It’s longer, but not in the way that hangs below your coat looking odd and awkward. It’s texture is so soft, feeling like the lightest yet warmest hug. Oh and did I mention it’s the perfect colour? Think of a rain forest, and amongst it, is this beautiful mossy green tree.. this replicates that. No joke (the pictures are proof)! This sweater has become a big staple in my wardrobe so far, being perfectly versatile, warm but not too warm, and everything in-between.

There is a slightly large DISCLAIMER for this sweater. It is cotton, and when I tried it on.. it SHED like crazy! So I frantically called the woman in my life for advice on how to speed up the process of stopping this shedding disaster. And I got the same advice from both my mom and gram. I simply put it in the dryer..on AIR only. I threw in a couple dryer sheets and I let it flip gently around in the dryer for quite some time. It worked like a CHARM! And now I can wear this sweater with minimal – none shedding! I do think this is also an incredibly useful home living hack.. and I’m more than happy to share the wealth on that one!

So there ya have it my friends. The source to the perfect mossy green cardigan, and a laundry hack!
