Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: New York and Co.’s City Style Fly Away Cardigan
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
We like this muted print cardigan from New York & Company because it's the perfect transition piece for spring. For example, worn with brown slacks: professional and more interesting than a white cardigan. Worn with a shift dress in a muted color like beige or black: springlike and youthful. We're going to go out on a limb and say it might even look great with more brightly-colored skirts — a red pencil skirt, perhaps? — because beige lacks the aggressiveness of a black cardigan or blazer. Available from New York & Company for $42.95. City Style Fly Away Cardigan – Print

Ohhh I love this one!!!
Nice find! and nice timing– they’re having a President’s Day sale, and with code “3089” you can get free shipping on anything >$75.
I have yet to buy a fly away cardigan, but I’m seeing them everywhere. They always look cute on models in photos, but I’m wondering if they’re practical for the office. Does anyone own one, and care to share?
I have one and really like it, although it is more boring than the one pictured (just plain black). It fits over a lot of different tops and is extremely comfortable. Make sure to wear something more substantial underneath than just a thin camisole though, since there are no fastenings, it can “fly away” when you are hurrying around, and reveal more of your bottom layer that you would expect standing at home in front of the mirror – like bra straps. I work in a more conservative business-casual environment, and don’t need to show the whole office that I am wearing a little tank top!
