Last weekend, I went to the mall to do a little bit of shopping for work. Yes, I wanted treat myself to a little “something” for landing the job, but mainly, I needed a few work-appropriate pieces to add to my wardrobe. My first stop was Aritzia, where I zoned in on winter clearance, since I was hunting for pieces to wear now. I didn’t expect to find much this late into the season, but lo and behold, they had a lot to choose from…and it was organized by colour, which was basically the best thing ever. I picked up a great pair of pants for the office, a new blazer…and this long-line cardigan.
Cardigans are a staple in my wardrobe, but it’s only recently that I’ve added long-line cardigans into my collection. Long-line cardigans add an edgy spin to your outfit and help to achieve that “model off-duty” vibe. I’ve come to realize that playing with proportions is a simple way to push your style to new boundaries.
If you’re petite like I am and looking to add a long-line cardigan into your wardrobe, I recommend you throw on a pair of heels to complete the outfit. Otherwise, you may look like you’re drowning a little bit!

You’re definitely one of the people who brought this type of silhouette onto my radar!
Ivete says
I totally agree. For us petite girls, a heel is key when it comes to wearing the longer cardis. Love this one on you!

Definitely! I don’t wear crazy high heels, but just that extra inch or two really helps a lot 🙂

I wasn’t really “looking” for a cardigan like this one, but I’d been liking them lately too, so I figured it just made sense to pick one up.
Gabriella says
Wow- great photography!! Love these pics.
I’m also new the long cardis and I’m digging them too! Can’t wait to pair with flats when warmer temps come.
Jackie says
Hahahah you don’t even know how much this comment made me laugh. There was MAD drama when we shot these photos, so it’s funny how well they turned out.

I so wish there was an Aritizia in DC. They have the cutest stuff! I suppose I could order online but shopping in a store is so fun sometimes! Love your cardigan here! I’m also petite and the problem I have with long-line cardigans is their length, like you mentioned. Throwing on a pair of heels seems to be the perfect solution!
Hope the new job is going well!
Nikki says
