I went on the hunt for a dark brown long sleeved cardigan, a white long sleeved cardigan and a holiday dress for myself yesterday during nap time.

It was more then I had hoped for with a sweet feminine look to it, modern in cut and SPARKLY.  Ideal for the holidays and 9 dollars!<\/p>\n<p>Although I found a long sleeved cardigan it was neither brown nor white but my favorite color, turquoise.  I had to leave before finding exactly the right brown and white sweaters but I will find another calm afternoon to go for it again.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I spotted a long sleeved, transparently soft material, mid-evil inspired wrap that I couldn&#8217;t pass up for three dollars. <a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-CMrhPTyXqlU\/TtvqoIohJBI\/AAAAAAAANX0\/C8S8qK-fqbs\/s1600\/P_00710d.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-CMrhPTyXqlU\/TtvqoIohJBI\/AAAAAAAANX0\/C8S8qK-fqbs\/s320\/P_00710d.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682393330091107346\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>It was a good night and although I am still hoping to find the two cardigan colours I am missing from my collection I feel successful.
