C is for...Cardigans! {A-Z 2026 #3}

Cardigans! Loosely speaking in some cases. Because some of these are boleros, throws, and some other form of non-jacket tops. Also a word of warning about the quality of the pics: it is terrible. I'm really struggling to take good and clear pictures with my camera because I don't have a tripod and so I have to balance everything on a stack of stuff and that often leads to unfocused and wacky pics...sorry! But I am wearing the cardigans, so it's something. Also, yes, I still have a massive bite in the middle of my face... nature hates me!

Cropped Black Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Ici et maintenant

A very basic and thin cardigan but it's so sweet and cute because it's cropped. I like to only button the top button and let it hang like that. Great long sleeves. 

Navy Flowery Wrap Top

Origin - Second hand

Brand - H&M

God, old H&M was basic but really cute. And not made of paper. Simple little top to tie a look together. 

Regular Black Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

Very warm and wooly cardigan. A staple for all cardigan lovers. I love how high the neck on it is. 

Short Sleeve Black Bolero

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Massimo Dutti

It has only a clip at the very top, near the neck and this cute detailing around all the seams. I wear this one a lot as it feels nice even in hotter weather. 

Black Longsleeve Bolero

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Gemo

This is basically just a pair of sleeves but it really reminds me of something a ballerina would wear and I love it.

Bunny Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Spot

I love this little bunny pattern. Takes me way back. And a nice addition as almost all my cardigans are just solid colour.

Brown Cropped Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - mais il est ou le soleil?

It's so earthy and soft, I love this cardigan so much. And it's got a little off-the-shoulder action going which I really like.

Brown Shear Cardigan

Origin - Bought new

Brand - H&M

A nice little party number and it really makes me feel like a fairy. Picked it up during a sale at H&M a few years ago.

White Cropped Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Mellem

Light and simple, great for the summer and with bright outfits. It is quite worn and stretched but it's also for more practical moments so I'll forgive the previous owners. 

Glittery Purple Cardigan

Origin - Hand-me-down

Brand - mais il est ou le soleil?

I know the pic is kind of terrible but isn't it also kind of whimsical? I don't wear this one often but when I do it makes me feel like a princess or something.

Bright Blue Wrap Top

Origin - Gifted

Brand - Kokomarina

This is actually made by my auntie. She has a Chinese-inspired fashion store and she gave me this for my birthday a few years back.

Maroon Cardigan

Origin - Hand-me-down

Brand - Bensimon

I got this with the glittery purple top and a bunch of other stuff from Monique's friend a few years ago. Most of the stuff was almost never worn so lucky me! I was also drawn to maroon more during the time so I wore this top a lot of the beach and the pool.
