Land’s End Spring Fashion with The Fine Gauge Cardigan

March 13, 2012 by Momstart 18 Comments

I was recently in a fashion show at church. I was on stage with our very own fashion guru who gave out ten fabulous tips of what every woman should have in her closet. One of the top ten items was a nice cardigan. And with me, I had to have one in a fun Spring color. I chose the Land’s End Fine Gauge Cardigan in Corn Flower Blue.

Fine Gauge Cardigan is made with premium Supima, America’s finest grown cotton.  Most recently Supima Cotton has been getting attention for its superior quality, softness, and its durability. The Lands’ End cardigan is a great way to update your wardrobe, adding versatility and available in a full assortment of fresh spring colors.  The cardigan layers perfectly and adds the finishing touch to any look from polished professional to casual comfort.

I’m really fond of this cardigan I only wish it was a tad smaller. I would like it to fit a bit tighter. Not a lot tighter just a little bit. The color, I love, I love all the other colors it comes in too so it was hard to choose. I chose this color of blue because it matches a few of my dresses already in my closet. The sleeves are the perfect length and so is the length of the cardigan.

 

Land’s End sent a sample for this review.

The Fabric of our Lives

May 17, 2009 by MomStart 2 Comments

To me, the most common type of fabric is cotton. Even in the summer, we wear cotton. Cotton is soft and very versatile.

The Fabric of our lives website had many topics on cotton, apparel, home fabric choices, and craft ideas.

Cool Your Home Naturally provides simple tips on how to help keep your house cool, conserve energy and keep your electric bill low during spring and summer. Ideas like installing insulation, installing exterior awnings, placing trees strategically around your house, to selecting paint for your houses exterior.

Recession Chic has become one of the most talked about apparel trends of the season because of the economic crisis our country is facing. learn what the best buys from this movement are in this special feature on the best “recession chic” finds under $100.

“‘Recession Chic’ has emerged as a trend based not only on styles from that era, but also on an aesthetic that looks to recapture the values associated with it,” says Eben Nicastro, Product Trend Analyst, Cotton Incorporated. “Consumers are calling for simplicity, frugality, and comfort, and those sentiments are finding their way into directional apparel for the season that recalls the simplicity and classic designs of the Depression era.”

 Covert Cover-Ups helps moms come up with ideas to keep the layers on children. With Spring and Summer the weather can start out cold in the morning and turn to scorching heat later in the day. Learn how to keep your children satisfied with fashion and still comfortable in the changing weather.

Kids tend to be fairly more active than adults, and all that running around and playing combined with sudden rain falls and seasonal shifts leads to fluctuating temperatures. It’s not always easy to convince children to cover up when the weather suddenly gets cooler. But there are some key wardrobe items you can use to keep them well protected, without having to face the battle of making them wear extra protective clothing.

Jeans are the everyday every occasion piece of clothing. Denim -The Best Apparel Value for Your Dollar outlines why this uniquely American fabric is the king of all apparel when it comes to overall durability, versatility, comfort, cost of care and purchase price.
