Orange Oasis

Cardigans are a clothing piece that is functional and fashionable for the fall and beyond. Really, it is a must have for your wardrobe.

Senior communications major, Alexis Scheidemantel, was spotted at DePaul wearing a textured crisp orange cardigan that fits the Chicago fall mood.

This long-sleeve Nordstrom cardigan commands attention, yet blends into the seasonal landscape of orange pumpkins and falling leaves around campus.

To accent this rich orange cardigan, Scheidemantel has accessorized with a vintage gold coin necklace her mother gave her. The copper and amber colors are a great match for this clementine cardigan.

Scheidemantel's advice when choosing a cardigan is to avoid anything generic. Instead, you should pick "a unique piece that allows you to stand out and mix up your wardrobe."

Scheidemantel does not go shopping often, but when she does, her focus is to get something different. Buying clothes that are already everywhere are no fun to her. Scheidemantel's rebellious fashion sense defies the norm and her risk-taking style is appreciated.
