Thursday's Work-Appropriate Clothing Item: BCBG Cardigan

Part of BCBG's new summer arrivals, I love this "pear" colored cardigan with its perfect not too low v-neck, four-button front closure, and ribbed trim on the cuffs and hem. The gathered detail at the center is a great touch. Wear it with a neutral colored dress (black, tan, white) or with darker colored trousers. It's made from cotton, rayon, and nylon. The only problem with the cardigan is the current price -- $178. Find it here.

BCBG is running a spring promotion: $100 off a purchase of $300 or more; enter code SPRINGGIFT at checkout. Otherwise, if you like the cardigan, but don't like the price, BCBG tends to run specials in-store every other week; keep the cardigan in mind and stop by when you are out shopping.
