After a much warmer weekend, with temperatures near 70 here in North Carolina, I am pleased as punch to say that it is finally starting to cool off. I must seriously just live in the wrong state. I really like it here, because I have the best of both worlds at my fingertips- the beach is just a four hour drive east, and the mountains are a three hour drive west. I am smack in the middle of perfection! I like cool weather, though, and 70 degrees two weeks before Christmas, while 'normal' for NC, doesn't feel so normal to this NJ girl who remembers white Christmases.



Since we're inching toward Christmas, and the weather is cooler, now- I am enjoying being able to pull out my sweaters. Since the weather is always so wishy-washy here, though, I have started to prefer light sweaters and cardigans to chunky, wooly ones. They are chic, can be easily dressed up or down, and they are much more practical in my mommy world, which I find myself still trying to get used to.  One of my favorite (and I do mean favorite) clothing boutiques, Conversation Pieces, is offering up some beautiful sweaters, cardigans, and lots of super chic outer wear this season, that you just have to see!

I could have chosen any of the gorgeous sweaters over at Conversation Pieces to share with you, and include in our gift guide this Christmas, but one stood out above all the rest- The Perfect Litle Gift Cardi. I was sent the Perfect Little Gift Cardi in Rust, and couldn't wait to try it on!

My Perfect Little Gift Cardi was all wrapped up, with the signature Conversation Pieces ribbon and lollipop!



Underneath the tissue, the cardi itself, was all wrapped up with a signature ribbon, and the Conversation Pieces tag/card.



I just love the Conversation Pieces tag- it's so lovely!


As I ran my fingers over the soft cotton cardi, I could feel the softness and warmth. The next day, I threw on a pair of skinny jeans, a neutral colored cami, and pulled on the Perfect Little Gift Cardi. I love the rust color, because it's not really brown- it's a bit more burnt than brown, which makes it look anything but drab.

What I love most about this cardigan, is that I can wear it different ways. It's a draped cardigan, so it's long and flowing in the front. Of course, I can wear it open, just as I would any other cardigan, but I can also drape and wrap it, any which way I choose! I actually tucked underneath the strap of my cami, and it stayed in place all day! I could even pin it, and add a cute brooch to hold it in place (I just didn't want to put pin holes in it). I wore it comfortably, all day long, and felt super stylish, even on a day where I didn't really leave the house.



Here I am, all wrapped up in my Perfect Little Gift Cardi...



I love the soft, flowy feel of the cardigan, and the elegant, but casual look it creates.



And of course, it looks great worn open, like this...


To me, the Perfect Little Gift Cardi is sort of the perfect gift for gals of all ages. It's hip enough for younger girls, chic and appropriate for career gals, and mommas- plus, it's elegant and functional for seasoned mommas. I can absolutely see my fifteen-year-old cousin, my sister, my mom, my aunt, my grandmother, and so on- all loving this same sweater. It's a good thing that the Perfect Litle Gift Cardi is available in so many great colors!
