In the words of Melville:
Whenever I find myself growing grim around the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially when my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to don the cheeriest, brightest cardigan I can find.
Okay, maybe that phrase about cardigans is a PChipz revision, but isn’t it true?
June in New England could be a scorch-ahh. But, it could also be wicked chilly. Or raining. Or maybe even a Nor-eastahh. It might—might, just maybe—be a sunny, temperate 70 degree day. But if it’s gray and I’m feeling grizzled around the edges, my plan is to grab a bright cardigan to cozy up in. Maybe even one adorned with a pretty flower pin or jeweled broach.
Plus, a snuggly cardigan will keep me in spirits high enough to refrain from knocking people’s hats off in the street.
In case of inclement weather, treating myself to a new cashmere sweater sounds enticing. But then I recall that I already own what might be the perfect cardigan. Remember the 2005 SJP Gap campaign? Anyone? Bought the whole outfit. Whole thing. Minus fedora.
A dry-cleaning and a fabric flower broach? That would be enough to put a sunny June back in my soul.
Is any part of your wedding day ensemble from your already existing wardrobe?
I have to say that I totally remember SJP rocking that outfit! Fantastic!
Wow, the pink cardi is gorgeous! Some floofy pale pink/cream flowers would freshen it right up! Or could go electric blue for contrast.
But then again, the mustard yellow one is so pretty! Decisions, decisions.
I totally love the look of a cardigan over a wedding dress!!
I’m getting married this February, and I am knee deep in the search for a cardigan to wear over my dress for the cold weather we’ll be fighting with. I don’t have any appropriate for this occassion, but I wish I did!
I’m excited to add a new cardigan to my collection that I’ll be able to transition to regular use after the ceremony. I’m excited to think that whenever I wear it I’ll be able to think of that wonderous day!
I remember that ad campaign! I love cardigans too, but I am hoping that I won’t need one in July! But then again, this is Maine and New England… it could do anything…
I am in love with Ann Taylor’s cardigans right now. I totally have one on as we speak. Check them out.
I have that J Crew cardi in the same color! Wore it for e-pics. Never thought to wear it to the wedding… good idea!!
I love that wrappy-one with the flower… too cute! Can’t wait to see how it comes together!
I’m getting married in late May in Plymouth (I grew up in Westport, MA, btw! I am glad there there’s a home-area girl on here!). Outdoor ceremony. I have the same concerns!
I’m thinking of getting pashminas for my bridesmaids, but this is way cuter. Maybe out of budget though.
Mmm, cardigans . . . I bought my girls pashminas as part of their gift, that they can wear if it’s chilly. But have nothing for me! My dress has quite a bit of beading on it, so I’m concerned a cardi might be a little too casual. Maybe I’ll get a holiday cardi with rhinestones - that makes it a formal cardi, right?
I really love those cardigans in your inspiration pictures. They look amazing! Can’t wait to see yours with your dress!
Yes! I told someone that I would love to knit a cardi for my wedding, and they thought I was nuts! I picture a teal-y cardigan, big white wedding dress, yellow wellies. 
i love that wrappy coral cardigan with the big flower. but that mustard color is smokin’!
Oh man, I love the bright cardigan + white wedding dress look! Can’t wait to see you rock it P.Chips! Or wait … maybe I hope you don’t wear it? Cause that would mean bad weather… Either way - hooray cardigans!
I heart cardigans! Go ahead with your bad self PChips!
I love the second one with the flowery pin! I need to go to a craft store stat (even though they scare me) and get some flowers to make into snazzy pins!
What a good idea….maybe I need me a new cardy for the wedding….oh, wait…I already have about 50. I think I have every color of the Victoria’s secret silk and cashmere blend cardigans! Love the one you’re gonna wear!
Love that second cardigan. It looks great on the bride!
