baby it's cold outside...

not quite, but we're getting close to that time of year when the temperature starts dropping and our bare arms need covering!

if it wasn't mid-july and humid on our wedding day, i would have loved to cover up in a cozy cardigan. it is hands down my favorite piece of clothing and my hubs will no doubt attest to this obsession.

some of my go-to spots for cover-ups include, but are certainly not limited to, j.crew, anthropologie, and banana republic. after looking at all of their latest collections, there are several options in my opinion that would look gorgeous over a wedding gown. go on, take a look yourself...

and if a cardigan isn't your thing, a bolero, shawl, capelet or scarf are all beautiful & functional alternatives when it comes to staying warm and still looking gorgeous on your wedding day.

where do you shop for your favorite cardigans?

any other cover-up ideas?
