St. John Collection ‘Santana’ Cardigan

When I was in high school, I loved the charity auction that my PTA put on every year because it was an opportunity to see the women in my community get glammed up in their otherwise suburban doldrum kind of life. And I distinctly remember how much I loved seeing those moms get dressed up in St. John. Those fond memories are brought back to life with this St. John Collection ‘Santana’ Cardigan, on sale now for $709 from Nordstrom. The scalloped trim is refined and the detailing is charming. It brings back memories, except in a much more modern, almost Olivier-Theyskens-for-Rochas kind of way.
