Bell Sleeve Cardigan ($17)

Coldwater Creek often has a bad thing going on, a sort of Granny Ersatz Southwestern thing that is distressing on all levels, but sometimes they still toss out a cute thing or two, which Shoppista wishes they would do more often. Here, it's a wool/cotton mix cardigan with cute styling, available in three colors.

Black Wrap Long-Sleeved Cardigan ($48)

Swoosh! That's the sound this sweater will make as you swoop down the sidewalks (maybe just in your mind, though). Freeform and flattering. From Torrid.

Black Drape-Front Buttonless Cardigan ($44)

What do you do with buttons, mostly? Yup, lose 'em. And how often do you keep a cardigan buttoned anyway? From Torrid.

Heather Gray Grandpa Cardigan ($44)

Somehow, these patch-pocket cardigans are being used by both teachers (handy chalk receptacles on the sweater? Boy howdy!) and emo kids (ummm... yeah, I don't know what the emos are keeping in there). If emo kids start wearing Xmas sweaters and matching them to colorful socks, teachers may have to unite in repelling this fashion takeover. (You can take our lives, but you canna take our denim jumper dresses!) From Torrid.

Cashmere Open-Front Cardigan ($155)

Available in plus, women's, and regular sizes, in five colors. Order by 3 p.m. today with Express shipping to get by Christmas. From J. Jill.

Color-Splashed Skirt ($35)

Reg $79. Mod dots meet updated construction here: perfect with a prim cardigan (and maybe some 50s librarian glasses). From J. Jill.

Crinkled Cotton Hoodie Dress ($40)

Reg $79. Pictured in red, but white is the color that's still available. Perfect for the beach or pool, or for going straight from beach/pool to something else. From J. Jill.

Linen-Cotton Blend Embroidered Swing Cardigan ($50)

Reg $89. For the hippy (not hippie) girls, this cardigan has flattering curves built in. The close-ups of the fabric also look deliciously soft and fuzzy. From J. Jill.

Picot-Edge Pointelle Cardigan ($25)

Reg $55. Available in yellow, tan, and dark turquoise, with a dress-up / dress-down capacity that will likely make it a wardrobe staple. From J. Jill.

Seamed Voile Skirt ($40)

Reg $99. A-line silhouette and mid-calf length mean this chocolate-colored skirt will work on a variety of frames, and the fancy stitching calls attention to the pleats. From J. Jill.

Linen-Cotton Blend Mixed Rib Cardigan ($30)

Reg $69. Three delicious colors (hot pink, light green, and white) are available for this summery sweater that avoids the cap sleeves I am sooo tired of seeing on short-sleeve sweaters. From J. Jill.

Linen-Cotton Herringbone Jacket ($30)

Reg $109. This yummy jacket has been through several markdowns already, so this may be your last shot at it. The cream/brown mix is sophisticated without being boring, and I love all the pockets! From J. Jill.
