Style Bee - A Timeless Spring Sweater - 3 WaysStyle Bee - A Timeless Spring Sweater - 3 WaysStyle Bee - A Timeless Spring Sweater - 3 WaysYou know those special pieces you find once in a while that instantly fill a closet gap you've been hopping around for years? Well, today we're taking a look at one of those! Towards the end of last spring I made list of pieces that would have been ideal for the variable weather and unpredictable temperatures we always seem to get. At the top of that list was, 'a simple cream cardigan' and so began my search. Fast forward to this spring, yep, a full year later, when I caught wind that one of my favourite knitwear lines, L'Envers, was releasing an organic cotton collection. The Anna Cardigan immediately ticked all the boxes I'd been hoping to fill and since her arrival we've been inseparable. Today I'll be sharing a bit more about this special spring staple and how I'm styling my Anna a whole bunch of ways this spring! Let's have a look shall we?

Valid through May 22nd. More details below. ABOUT THE ANNA CARDIGAN As it turns out my requirements for the perfect spring sweater were a bit of a tall order. The must-have elements being: Neutral cream tone to pair with both light and dark coloursBreathable fibre that would cut out a chill without overheatingTimeless design to withstand trendsEasy fit with room for layers underneath but also over topThoughtful productionEasy upkeepWithin my spring budget (I was very lucky to receive this cardigan as part of this partnership and I stand by it's investment value as a piece to be worn and treasured for many years to come.) I have really loved my wool CLAUDE Cardigan and when I saw that the ANNA Cardigan was a similar design with a slightly shorter length I knew it was a serious contender. The other elements that sold me were: 100% Organic Undyed Cotton Fair Trade Sourced in Brazil Spun & knitted in Spain Easy fit that's wide enough to layer over loose tops but still slim enough to slip into a relaxed denim jacket (shown later) or a raincoat.Machine washable on delicate with air dry (more care notes here) OTHER ANNA FACTS: Price: €220 (Equates to about $330 CAD or $246 USD) Sizing: S/M (what I got) | M/L | L/XL | With custom sizing available here.Knitted to order with lead time of about 1-week MY FAVOURITE STANDOUT DETAILS LONG SLEEVES FOR COZY WRISTS + STYLING OPTIONSTONAL BUTTONS + A CLEAN, CLASSIC DESIGN FOR LONGEVITYINCREDIBLY SOFT + CHUNKY 100% ORGANIC COTTON KNIT THE PERFECT LAYERING FIT & LENGTH ONE NOTE PRIOR TO STYLING IDEAS So as you can see, the ANNA Cardigan answered all the necessary requirements to make it's way into my closet this spring. Before shooting or writing this post I wear tested the sweater for a couple of weeks and wore it on my trip to Prince Edward County. Being an investment piece I wanted to make sure I'd really given it a good trial period before featuring it on the blog. Overall, I am so pleased with how it's performed and believe it will be a staple in my closet for years to come! The only cautionary note I felt was necessary to share was that being a cotton knit the fibres will relax with wear. After about the 5th full day of wearing the cardigan I noticed that the sleeves on the elbows and around the wrist wear loosening up. With a wash it returns to its original shape and fit and the sleeves were still snug enough to push up and wear under coats. You can see the relaxed fit best in Look 2 below. Now, onto the outfits!
