For better or worse it’s still hot out. The DC area is likely to stay nice and toasty for at least another month or two. Enter Ninon by Audrey Borrego – this lace cardigan is the perfect accessory for faux-fall. Knit in a sport-weight linen, this sweater is the perfect accoutrement for the weather, transitioning easily from farmers market chic to work wear. Feel free to layer this light weight knit over just about anything, with the on-trend oversize silhouette and all-over lace pattern that gives this piece much-coveted 3-season appeal. The lace repeat is straight forward and easy to learn, and we think you’ll be knocking out this knit in no time flat.
