I have to give props to a store that can carry a shoe in this style and a coat with this print. Granted, these items will only last for a season, but there are times when wisdom promotes the purchase of short lived clothing. When you’re buying an extreme trend, when you’re in the process of changing your weight, or when you know our chosen activity will quickly destroy your uniform. Well in those cases, you’d better make a stop at Old Navy. But when it’s short lovely life has been lived, please show it respect by giving it a respectful end. Cardigan Empire does not condone the wearing and exploitation of clothing carcasses.

If your signature style dial is magnetized by modern wavelengths, I must recommend a stop at Kohls. It’s not that indigenous ruffles and pleats do not grow here, it’s just one of the few places you’ll find an architectural shape like the Elle Ponte Jacket without breaking three digits.
