In-between Weather Cardigan

Tweet

Such in-between weather this Spring has sprung . . . . cool icy mornings with Hot mid-days . . . cardigan weather as I call it. Such an old fashioned word my daughter would say - cardigan, and then she would add - But I am so glad that you introduced me to the stylish garment! Even though the cardigan was named after James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, which was modelled after the knitted wool waistcoat that British officers supposedly wore during the war." The more famous 'Coco Chanel' is credited with popularizing cardigans for women because "she hated how tight-necked men’s sweaters messed up her hair when she pulled them over her head."" So style is most definitely included in the wearing of cardigans. Mostly the garment is associated with the "college culture of the Roaring Twenties and early 1930s, being also popular throughout the 1950s, the 1970s and the 1990s." and now luckily the Cardigans have regained popularity in the present decade. I have about six cardigans in my wardrobe - two white, cream, beige, navy blue and bottle green. To me they are essential especially in the in-between weather. Do you have a cardigan? and how is your in-between weather going from Summer to Autumn, or Winter to Spring? A lovely postcard arrived from Alice on Monday and Virginia is visiting again. Thank you so @IreneVincent for the beautiful card depicting all the History that goes with it. Love the umbrella's on the beach - and the Tulips!! It would be most interesting if you can fill me in on the other buildings names and the lighthouse - I love lighthouses!
