Love this! I am loving all the colourful pieces being featured lately (granted, I seem to have a lot of leeway in terms of acceptable work clothes compared to many of the people I see commenting here).
I love it too :)
I like it even better with the lighter colored background:

But I will probably wait for it go on sale before I consider buying.
Really? This disgusts me.
I feel like this would only look good on someone shaped exactly like this model…
Charlotte Tarantola’s cardis are great. So lightweight with fun design details. She does run small – I take size XL and I’m 12-14 in other lines, and even then I have to wear the sweater a little while until it “fits”.
I prefer her solid pieces but the prints are really visual.
I like it, but before I looked at the price, I assumed it was going to be like $40 or $50 at Ann Taylor Loft or the Limited. Which may not mean much from the picture if it’s nicely constructed in person, but still.
disgusts? that’s strong language for a cardigan.
i think it’s lovely and cheery.
I agree with V–doesn’t look like $100 to me. I do like it though, but I’ll wait for a sale.
Not right for my office.
Maybe for the Friday before Labor Day, but that’s about it.
the cream version is definitely nicer, also cheaper on: http://www.myshape.com/shop/productview/20573
