Short Sleeve Button-Up Cardigan

I bought this top during the anniversary sale in Black size M. It fit true to size. It is a bit cropped but actually covered my mid-life mid-section pretty well. I wore a cami underneath to be sure everything was tucked in. I wore it to a work meeting with black pants. It is a heavier weight material, almost knit feel. But I was completely comfortable in our mid-west 75 degree weather. Overall, I think the look is Chic with black slacks and a sling back kitten heal or you can style it with jeans for a little more casual look. I am very happy with this purchase and this top will take place of the cami/blazer combo I usually wear. And the short sleeves make it spring/summer early fall wearable.

I tossed this cutie in my cart at the last minute during the anniversary sale, and it is a dark horse favorite! I would wear it to a wine tasting, Thanksgiving dinner, or a day in the office! The maroon and gold color combination is very pretty, making the top elevated but not stuffy. Size up if you're in between. I might try the next size up if I can find it, or just sew the bust closed to prevent the appearance of gaping since I only plan to wear it closed.. The chest doesn't really come all the way open but also doesn't straighten out entirely, which you can see if you look closely at the model photo. That is really picky though and pretty much happens with any garment in this style. The fit is slightly cropped. Nice quality for the price. Petite friendly.
