wrapped in flowers

so remember how kelly and i made a clearance-sale pit stop at the gap over new years weekend? well, the one item in the store that really caught my eye (not on clearance) was this very unexpected floral cardigan. doesn't it just seem like the kind of piece you'd wear on a day you feel like smiling? it's such a mood-booster, and great for the few months leading into spring while we're all waiting, and of course once spring and summer arrive. and i have to say, i like it in all the color stories it comes in.

i actually feel like the colors are different enough that you could get away with having more than one in your wardrobe, don't you think? then again, i'm totally one of those "if it looks good get it in several colors" people. are you?

and then i also happened to notice this more hand-drawn looking version in the coldwater creek catalog. who knew?
these are totally pieces that would get millions of compliments because they just make you smile. don't you think?
