Kiyonna - A Plus Size Cardigan for Breast Cancer Awareness
If you've read my blog before you know I've been a long time (and when I say "long time" I mean, like, back since 2001!) shopper of Kiyonna. So, when they reached out to me to share the news about their Special Edition Bohemian Crochet Bellini cardigan I was absolutely on board to share the news.
Bohemian Crochet Bellini in Blushing Pink by Kiyonna
First and foremost, know that 50% of all retail sales of this cardigan go directly to a California-based Breast Cancer non-profit. This I love. The organization, Breast Cancer Angels, gives practical, real-world assistance and support to women undergoing breast cancer and their families. Awesome!
Here's what I literally love about this cardigan, and I'm going to start with the F-word that so many people despise... this cardigan is flattering as all heck! No, seriously. Can I have more of these in every soft-jersey fabric possible? From the 3/4 sleeves to the under-bust ties I am literally going to go on line and snag at least one more of these for heavy duty rotation in my closet. If crochet isn't your personal style you can try out the jersey version. Throw it on over your jeans, wear it with slacks for work or even over a chic bodycon dress for a little bit more coverage.
Here I am wearing the cardigan with a tank underneath and paired with my favorite old Torrid bootcut jeans in a short length (because, yes, I'm a shortie) and some animal print flats. I went for walk in my new neighborhood in Toluca Lake and was super comfortable and still felt put together in an easy going bohemian style.

And as a little fyi the model pictured below is the most beautiful and sweet gal ever, Mariesther. This picture is exactly how she looks in real life! She is probably wearing a 1x and I had a 4x; could this be the most flattering cardigan every? I think so!
A big huge thanks to Kiyonna for sending this stunning cardigan!!! There are still a few days left of the month to shop and grab your own. Head over to their website and snag one for yourself today!
