A few years ago, I decided to invest in a Barefoot Dreams Circle cardigan. If you don’t know by now, I am a major cardigan fan preferring them over all other types of jackets in the fall and spring. So, I was thrilled when I finally got this one – truly the softest and warmest cardigan I’ve ever owned!
While this cardigan is meant to be more of a lounge piece for wearing around the house, I think I wore mine more in the beginning when running errands! While it’s definitely a casual sweater, you can throw it on with so much. So today, I thought I would share a few of the ways I wear mine.
The Traditional Way with Sleepwear
I do also like to wear it the more traditional way – over my sleepwear. I have it layered over these Soma black shorts and a similar pajama top. When it warms up in the spring, I will even throw it over my daytime shorts outfit in the mornings if I’m chilled.
Leggings or Joggers
Granted, leggings are more loungewear for many people. But I do wear mine out with a longer shirt or tunic. If I want to be really cozy, then I will layer my Barefoot Dreams cardigan on top. You can do the same with jogger pants that are a popular alternative.
Oh yeah, I am wearing just my socks in the picture above because I don’t like to wear shoes in the house. Ha! I will wipe my shoes off and put them on for a mirror photo, though, like the one below.
Jeans
Of course I couldn’t leave out how I really wear this sweater the most – with jeans! As the weather warms up, I will layer it over a tee or cami. I will wear it over most tops that I pair with my jeans – check out this post or this post!
I realize this cardigan is quite an investment for a lounge piece but that’s why I wanted to do this post. Even when a higher priced item fits within my budget, I always consider carefully if I will get the value out of the purchase. I think about how much and how many ways I will wear a piece.
This cardigan does go on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale at the end of each summer and is marked down quite a bit. Last year, the sale was in August.
Barefoot Dreams also has traditional robes, warm blankets, and cozy socks too. Hopefully, spring will come early this year, but if not, I will still be wearing my cardigan.
