6 QUOTES WITH «CARDIGAN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word cardigan.
1
Kristin Armstrong
I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way. Some people can shrug expectations off their shoulders like a cardigan, remaining cool and breezy. Others wear them like a parka with a stuck zipper, hot and stifling.
2
Thom Browne
My uniform: grey suit, white shirt, grey tie and tie bar, grey cardigan and black wingtips.
3
James Franco
I'm a big cardigan sweater guy.
4
Claudia Schiffer
I have a really basic uniform: in winter, black tights and any old dress that I can throw on. In summer, high-waisted jeans and this shirt, or that shirt, and a cashmere cardigan just in case.
5
L'Wren Scott
I think a girl always needs a cardigan, and I tend to go for the sparkles. I have a minimum of 50 embellished cardigans. I'm not a believer in less is more; I'm sort of a believer in more is necessary.

Sharon Van Etten
I have this red cardigan that my friend Coco gave me that has holes for thumbs. It's my cozy sweater. I wear it a lot.
