When your Character Wears a Cardigan

Cardigan - a sweater that is open in the front, usually featuring buttons that can close the garment.

Types of Cardigans

Knit from merino wool, cashmere, cotton, or synthetic fibers, cardigans come in several cuts and fits. The 4 common cardigan styles include:

Cropped: Also known as a shrug, a cropped cardigan is a short cardigan style that falls around the mid-torso. Cropped cardigans are similar to a shawl, as you can wear them over a dress or tank top to keep the shoulder and arms warm.

Hooded: A hooded cardigan has a hood attached to the back of the sweater to provide extra warmth. They are a great addition to fall outfits as a layer worn under jackets or blazers.

Long: Falling anywhere from the mid-thigh to the ankle, long cardigans provide your legs with extra warmth. Different styles of long cardigans vary in length—dusters or longline cardigans fall below the knee, and maxi cardigans reach the ankles.

V-neck: These cardigans have a distinct neckline that comes down, forming a V-shape. Compared to a rounded or crewneck collar, the V-neck creates a slimming effect that accentuates the body's natural shape. Most V-neck cardigans feature a button-down front so that you can wear the sweater open or closed.

How to Wear a Cardigan

Here are tips for how to style cardigans for a variety of occasions:

Add to a business casual outfit. Cardigans are wardrobe essentials for smart casual or business casual looks. Layer a shawl-collar cardigan over a white button-down shirt, tucking the dress shirt into a pair of chinos. Complete the look with loafers.

Choose a bold color. Make your cardigan a statement piece by choosing a bold color. Pair a bright, cozy cardigan with a pair of suede pants or slim-fitting black midi skirt and tights. You can also wear cardigans with intricate designs, such as embroidery or beading, to enhance and dress up an outfit.

Pair with a crop top. During warm months, a thin, loose-knit cardigan sweater works as a lightweight outerwear layer. Style a cami or crop top with a short cardigan for a laid-back, casual outfit. You can wear this look with shorts or high-waist jeans.

Throw a chunky-knit cardigan over casual outfits. Cable knit cardigans are warm and comfortable sweaters you can style with a long-sleeve shirt and a pair of slouchy joggers or wide-leg pants. You can also style an oversized cardigan with a pair of mom jeans or skinny jeans and ankle boots for a trendy daytime look.

Try an over-the-shoulder look. For a casual summer outfit, tuck a T-shirt into a pair of pants or a mini skirt and drape a cotton cardigan over your shoulders. Complete the outfit with white sneakers.

Rather than pulling a cardigan over your head, you simply slip your arms into the sleeves. Cardigans are often made with very fine knit, giving them a thin, lightweight feel that makes them a great layering piece.

"In a statement, his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love."

As he performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park less than three weeks ago, Osbourne told fans: "You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart."

It was a gig put together with performances from some of his favourite acts, including Metallica and Guns'n'Roses, for the 76-year-old's "final bow"."

On writing sexual tension

⊹ standing too close. like just barely not touching. why are their shoulders breathing on each other??

⊹ conversations that sound normal but feel like foreplay. “pass the salt” has never been so loaded.

⊹ one of them says something flirty and the other freezes for 0.2 seconds like “oh.”

⊹ eyes dropping to lips and then—back up. with effort.

⊹ holding eye contact just a little too long. like... are they gonna kiss or duel??

⊹ unintentional physical contact that lasts one second too long and now they’re both broken

⊹ a hand on the small of the back. that’s it. that’s the tweet.

⊹ tension so thick that other characters start noticing like “hey are you two okay?” (they are not)

⊹ “accidental” sleepovers. “oh no there’s only one bed.” yeah. suuuure.

⊹ biting back a smile. biting back a moan. biting anything really.

⊹ one of them walks away and the other has to physically restrain themselves from watching the hips

⊹ lots of sighing. frustrated sighs. horny sighs. “i want to kiss you but I’m emotionally unavailable” sighs.

How to Improve Your Research Skills

Whether you’re writing a blog post or a short story, you’ll likely reach a point in your first draft where you don’t have enough information to go forward—and that’s where research comes in.

Tips for Improving Your Researching Skills

A few research practices and tips to help you hone your research and writing skills:

Start broad, then dive into the specifics. Researching is a big task, so it can be overwhelming to know where to start—there’s nothing wrong with a basic internet search to get you started. Online resources like Google and Wikipedia, while not always accurate, are a great way to orient yourself in a topic, since they usually give a basic overview with a brief history and any key points.

Learn how to recognize a quality source. Not every source is reliable, so it’s crucial that you can recognize the good sources from the not-so-good ones. To determine a reliable source, you’ll need to use your analytical skills and critical thinking, and ask yourself the following questions: Does this source agree with other sources I have found? Is the author an expert in the field? Does the author’s point of view have a conflict of interest regarding this topic?

Verify information from several sources. The internet is a big place, and, for the most part, anyone can say whatever they want online—many websites don’t evaluate their content for factual accuracy. This means that there are plenty of unreliable resources out there, and even many that are outright incorrect. The best way to combat this is to make sure that whatever you find in your research, several different sources can verify that it is true. Rather than going off of one webpage, make sure that at least two other places say something similar.

Be open to surprising answers. Good research is all about finding answers to your research questions—not necessarily as a way to verify what you already think you know. Solely looking for confirmation is a very limiting research strategy, since it involves picking and choosing what information to collect and prevents you from developing the most accurate understanding of the topic. When you conduct research, make sure to keep an open mind so that you can learn as deeply as possible.

Stay organized. During the data collection process, you’ll be seeing a huge amount of information, from webpages to PDFs to videos. It’s vital that you keep all of this information organized in some way to prevent yourself from losing something or not being able to cite something properly. There are plenty of ways to keep your research project organized, but here are a few common ones: Bookmarks in your Internet browser, index cards, and an annotated bibliography that you keep updated as you go.

Take advantage of library resources. If you still have questions about researching, don’t worry—there are plenty of places out there to help you out, even if you’re not a student doing academic or course-related research. In fact, many high school and university libraries offer resources not only for faculty members’ and students’ research but for the larger community. Be sure to check out library websites for research guides or access to specific databases.

Research skills are a vital part of the writing process because they enable writers to find information and create an outline for their writing project—whether it’s creative or academic writing. By developing organized and effective research methods, you’ll be able to become knowledgeable in any field that you need to write about.
