Button Up Love Blog Tour: Day Two

First up on our blog tour is the AMAZING Rachel Reece of Violet & Jewels.  We've got a plaid theme going today, so read below to see how I hacked the Button Up into a cozy woven cardigan.

I went with a wool blend plaid for this cozy hack but you can use flannel, shirting, or even knits for more cozy comfort.  You want a woven fabric that has a...
