I have alphabetised my wardrobe, and they are all hanging there nicely.

Lordy
Does anyone need 15?

Quattrocento · 29/03/2009 17:11

I haven't counted the total but I appear to have five green cardigans

I don't even like green!

mrsmaidamess · 29/03/2009 17:12

Moonie I know 15 sounds a lot doesn't it.

I think I am drawn to cardi's whenever I go into a shop. I do have some beauties though.

I had a wardrobe cull too. There must be something in the air.

I have 1 white, 1 black, 1 turquoise and 1 black and white striped that I never wear.

Ambi · 29/03/2009 17:17

2, and they are my dirty little secret and only wear them at home.

mrsmaidamess · 29/03/2009 17:18

I also have an excess of black suits. Of course they are all very different ...

foxinsocks · 29/03/2009 17:21

I love cardigans

are your jumpers in J or S (for sweater)?

I also have lots. I reckon 3 black (1 proper warm wooly, 1 cotton for summer and 1 middly for now type weather), 3 grey (none exactly the shade I wanted grr), 1 dark turquoise for the summer with dresses and a navy one I hardly ever wear.

cardigans are brill

what colour are your fifteen?

Ambi · 29/03/2009 17:22

jumpers or long sleeved tops. Cardi only comes out when the house is really cold and snuggled on the sofa.

ohdearwhatamess · 29/03/2009 17:23

Only 1.

A huge woolly thing that I only wear for vegging out on the sofa on cold evenings.

mrsmaidamess · 29/03/2009 17:23

Oh you shouldn't have asked me that fox!

I can't list them all, that would be too boring. But there are brights, patterned, skinny, chunky, allsorts. My fave is my coral one with stars on.

I'm a cardigan bore.

I am fascinated to know how you alphabetised them - by colour? by age? by usage occasion?

I am also a cardi fanatic btw.

this thread should be in pedants corner. not style and beauty

squeaver · 29/03/2009 17:28

Oh I see it was your wardrobe as a whole you alphabetised. So c for cardigans, d for dresses, s for skirts.

[strangely curious about the whole thing emoticon]

Ambi · 29/03/2009 17:29

snap ohdear!

Nabster · 29/03/2009 17:29

Biege one with tassels.

2 black which are a blooming nuisance. One has a broken zip and the other the zip only works once in a blue moon.

MrsMattie · 29/03/2009 18:22

Only 3 right now.

I hate cardis, but they are necessary. That's how I feel about them.

mloo · 29/03/2009 18:25

15 .
One, I inherited from my mother.

Niecie · 29/03/2009 18:26

Oh dear I have about 15 as well - I haven't counted them but it must be about that. Some of them aren't very nice and should really go I suppose.

I have a lot of jumpers too. I am a little bit of a knitwear obsessive.

littlelamb · 29/03/2009 18:29

O god, way more than 15. I love little cardigans. A wardrobe cull is way overdue here too. I have about 3 purple, 3 blue, a looovely pinky red one from H and M that I will never part with, 2 or 3 beige, a couple of grey, lots of greens, including a Fat Face merino wool one that shrunk massively in the wash but I can't bear to throw out, and waaaay more black ones than I should have. In fact, I think cardis are the basis of my wardrobe. I have skirts, trousers and jeans to go with them. And they're not granny like at all (we have a ban on chunky knits here- I am quite chunky enough )
