Long Cardigans and Ghillies…Love!

I wear long, lightweight cardigans at any time of year (in air-conditioning during warmer months), and they work well with really any style of pant. This marled grey one from Nordstrom is an open weave and is so comfortable. The fact that it’s long in back and doesn’t fasten in the front–you can see my thighs–helps to elongate my shorter legs, I think. If you’re interested, it’s currently on sale. Should the grey no longer be available when you read this, I also found another similar long, grey cardigan at 6pm.com.

Now, I have to mention my shoes. Oh my gosh, I think they’re so cute. I wish these photos weren’t so dark, because they don’t do the color justice (a soft, pretty blush). They’re called ghillies, and according to Dictionary.com a ghillie is a type of shoe that was originally worn by Scottish hunting guides during the late 1500s.

I’ve been eyeing the style for about a year and finally decided to try a pair. Besides being adorable, I also like that because of the lacing I can tighten them to fit my narrow foot, so they feel very comfortable and secure. To see a wide array of ghillies, 6pm.com offers a large variety of styles at varying price points.

Do you already have a pair? I hope you’ll leave a comment and tell us what you think of them. ~Janis Lyn Johnson

(ABOVE & BELOW) This Nordstrom sweater has got to be one of my all-time favorite cardigans, because of the light weight and longer length.
