Cardi Party - Meet 3 of 35

The last time I consistently posted more than a year ago. Blog fail. Life gets busy, you get behind, you know there are 346,143,690 other things you SHOULD be doing besides writing a blog, but where's the fun in that?  So with all of my spare time, I am going to TRY to post once a week.

Also, as of late, my blog traffic has exploded due to a few Pinterest posts that link to Journaling the Bible (yay, Jesus!), Our First Christmas as Mr & Mrs., Laundry Room Reno, and Front Door Makeover, so with these new people rolling in, I should write new content, right?

Or maybe I just to need to write again for my own sanity. I miss writing.

So what better way to kick it off, than joining Meghan's Cardi Party? Ahhhh accountability clothed in... well, cute clothes! A fabulous excuse to get back in the habit.

I am a very clothes-minded person. I. LOVE. CLOTHES. And shoes. And purses. And pretty things in general, but really clothes. I used to work at Gap and Banana Republic and this just fueled my addiction. I was really good at "wearing and selling" and I pretty much handed my paycheck back to them every single month.

My name is Vanessa. I am addicted to clothes. I have a "Dressing Room" (not a closet) and I have 35 cardigans. This makes me sound like a hoarder BUT I seriously wear all of my clothes. Not at the same time.

I am going to attribute the cardi collection to being cold blooded. I freeze to death all of the time. I have a space heater in my office. And my bathroom. And next to my bed. With an electric blanket.
Do you know just how much my fireman husband HATES my space heaters? It's a wonder he married me.
Without further adieu, meet my top three cardi's, left to right (close-up picture above):

Orchid Gap Cardigan with sequin embellishment - I loved this cardigan so much, I bought two of them  from Gap's Spring 2005 line. No joke. This cardigan just sparkles and because of that, just looking at it makes me happy. The only downfall is that it's difficult to wear on curly hair days because my hair gets caught in the sequins.

Multicolor CaBi Kimono - This has an odd mix of colors (I am slowly coming around to mustardy yellow) but it feels amazing. It is warm AND feels like a nightgown. It's flowy, fun and not fitted, so I am all about it on those days I feel... bigger. And cold. ;)

JCrew Poppy Cardigan - One simple phrase can sum up my love for this one: loud print, loud colors. I love bold prints and colors and this cardigan is killing it in those categories all in the name of warmth.

Do you have anything you have just-so-happened to accumulate large numbers of in your closet? Do you love a beautiful cardi, too? Join the kmac cardi party! You don't have to blog, you can post pics on IG in your favorite cardigans and use #kmaccardiparty.

This will be super fun! Do it! :)
