Buy it yourself here.
I have all sorts of dresses that I plan to wear this spring and summer, but I wanted a light-weight and flattering top layer to incorporate into the outfits. If you remember, many of the dresses I own are in bright prints, so I was hoping for some solid-color, neutral cardigans. I had no intention of purchasing six of the same cardigan in different colors, but that is exactly what happened:
As you can see, I ended up with Heather Oatmeal, Fuchsia, Aqualicious, Black Jack, Graphite Heather, and Bright White. I truly believe I will utilize all six of these sweaters over the next six months, but I'm curious- do you ever do this type of thing? Do you purchase more than one color of the item you like? I tend to do it with basic items like these cardigans or with a basic neutral skirt or top. I even have three of the same jersey dress that I bought one summer. Sometimes the purchase is all at once, as with these Old Navy cardigans. Other times, I purchase one, wear it and love it even more than I thought I would, so I go back a week or so later and get another (or three). Since they get plenty of wear, I don't view this as a bad thing, but I am curious about how many other people out there do the same thing. Or am I all alone on this one? And before you pass judgement on my six new cardigans, consider this: they were marked down to $16.50 each in the store, but I had an additional "Friends & Family" coupon from a friend that got me an additional 30% off my total purchase. The total price for the cardigans was only $69. Honestly, I've spent that much on a single cardigan before. It was cashmere, but still.
So do me a favor and leave a comment telling me if you think I'm bonkers or a genius, or anything in between. I'd love to hear what you all think of purchasing multiples for your wardrobe. Happy Monday!

I did the exact same thing in Primark the other day - at £4 each I just couldn't say no!

Great bargain find, Emily! Sometimes the deal is too good to pass up!
Uh, genius! I do it all the time - why not? If you like something and it works for you... it's not like you're going to wear each item the *exact* same way or one right after the other. GREAT DEAL, by the way! I love Old Navy. Gonna wear a $5 stripey tee from ON tomorrow - I also have one just like it in a different color! :)
Taylor- after writing the post, I asked my coworkers and they all felt is was a normal thing to do,too. You're all making me feel better about my purchases. Enjoy wearing your stripey tee tomorrow!
I do the same thing, especially if the item is a really good price!
