So glad I kept all the long cardigans and dusters that I bought over the years.

I'm getting dressed to go to a function a little later.  Wearing my usual turtleneck, pants and ankle boots ... and was looking for something to wear over like sweater or jacket.  It's overcast and cool today.

Now that I got rid of so much stuff, I can see what's in the closet.  I found a deep purple sweater knit duster from Attitude.  Really well done ... not just a plain flat knit.  It has a shawl collar in a open stitch that goes all the way down the front. sections of vertical and horizontal ribbing and godet inserts.  I think I bought this before I retired in 2010 and only recall wearing it once before.  It got stuck in the back of the closet and I forgot all about it.  

Best of all - looks fab over my white shirt and black pants and black ankle books.

Love that look!  

I recently bought a light-weight red/rust linen duster to wear to my 50th high school reunion.  I wore it over jeans with a sleevless black top that had a gathered neckline and a bit of red embroidery across the front.

While I don't consider myself all that stylish, it made me at least feel up to date.  Being taller (5' 6") I felt it added a streamline appearance.

Your purple cardigan sounds wonderful.  And, and added bonus that you got to wear it again

love dusters, long cardigans, and toppers that go anywhere from mid thigh to just at the ankles. it is definitely one of my favorite "looks" that i have been wearing for several years now.

i just need the weather to start cooperating though. our temperatures are not quite there yet.

I too love the look and am looking for a pretty burn out velvet fabric to make a long duster with high side slits.I love the drape and movement when walking in  them.

yours sounds really pretty !😊

Sounds like a cute outfit, @ALRATIBA.  I loooove the look of dusters!   However, I've tried on many in recent weeks and they swallow me up.  Even in petite sizes.   At 5ft-2 1/2in, it doesn't matter the shape or the style of the duster, I look absolutely ridiculous in it.   So, I'm envious of any lady who can wear one and rock it!
