May 26, 2009

This season Burberry offers degrade coloured trenches, tees and cardigans. I must say it looks very-very nice, I’ve already bought Thomas Burberry ombre tank and everybody asks me where :) So now I’m thinking about one of these cardigans.
This one is a long sleeve dégradé wool cardigan with v-neckline will work both at work place and during summer night stroll with jeans and wedges. You can purchase it at BurberryUSAonline. Well, you can also find some affordable version at bebe in olive/vert.
