1 item, 3 ways

Last week I made the True Bias Marlo sweater, view A, which is the cropped view in Carson Cable knit. It’s a really fun fabric and I have been wanting a causal cropped cardigan for spring.

I found the pattern itself to be a quick and easy sew. It took me only one night to cut out and sew up. The only change I mad was to leave off the buttons. My machine was having a hard time with the cable knit and I decided not to risk the button holes. Maybe it would have taken me a bit longer if I had risked the buttons.

The Marlo is an oversized cardigan and I decided to go down a size as I wanted it to be able to be worn with both pants and over dresses. Here it is styled 3 ways

WORK

For those of you who don’t know I work for a brewery in one of the most rainy cities in North America. I find the office to be quite cold even in the middle of summer. So this first look is my typical day to day look for summer, jeans and a tank top.

I could easily leave this sweater on the back of my chair and toss it on when needed.

Date Night

Next up date night! This would be a great outfit for a cocktail and a movie with my husband. Same tank top, same cardigan, simply tucked into a cute mini skirt. Add some fun earrings and you are out the door!

Weekend

The final look I put together is perfect for a weekend. Maybe at the park with my 5 year old or a backyard bbq.

Borrowed a band t-shirt from my husband’s closet, threw on my favourite pair of jeans shorts and instantly fell in love with this look. I will be wearing this first hot day we get!
