October is one of my all-time favorite months. Why, you may ask? Well, it’s spooky season leading up to Halloween on the 31st. Any excuse to dress in costume and eat candy is fine by me! It’s also officially fall, so we get to sip pumpkin spice lattes while taking in the crisp air and crunchy leaves. And this year, I’m counting down the days until Taylor Swift releases her new album Midnights. As a Swiftie, autumn has always made me think of the award-winning artist — she’s basically the queen of sweater weather. She even has a song called “Cardigan”! Need we say more?

Cardigans are to sweaters what crossbody bags are to purses — both pieces are closet staples that you can style in a variety of different ways. Versatile and practical! You can take a cardigan from summer to winter and from brunch to a business meeting.  They’re also effortlessly chic and cozy. So, what are you waiting for?
