Wrap me up!

Some people have a comfort food that they turn to in stressful times. I have comfort fabric; cashmere! You're probably thinking "pppfff, of course she likes cashmere...it's expensive"! But it doesn't always have to be. There are some fab cashmere pieces that you can find for decent prices.

My first cashmere sweater remains my fave. It's a grey Lord and Taylor brand, cross over style. I checked out their web site, but it doesn't look like they have that particular style available anymore. That's too bad or I would buy one in every colour.  I also love the cashmere zip-up hoodie. Too cute. My cashmere lasts. I usually dry clean it every two or three wears. If you're wearing a tee underneath, then you can go even long. My neighbour D swears by hand washing her L&T cashmere, but I'm too much of a chicken to try that. And I hate hand washing.  When the sweaters are on sale they range in price for $79.99 to $119.00 USD. Right now the green back is almost on par with the Canadian dollar. Unfortunatly L&T doesn't deliver to Canada, but it worth the drive down to the Walden Galleria in Buffalo.

I also happen to love cashmere scarves and gloves. This is the perfect time of year for cashmere gloves or mittens. It's not too cold that you need your thermal ski mitts, but it's cool enough that your little fingers will get a tich icy if not covered up.  I found these cute medium weight, long cashmere scarves at another US retailer called Garnet Hill.  I love the black/dusty plum stripped scarf. So cute. And it would look just right with my black Pea Jacket.  These scarves are luxuriously long so they can be wrapped around a couple of times. Love that.  I personally am not into matching gloves and scarves, but if you are then you'll adore the cashmere gloves. I like them because they are long. I love gloves that sneak up my arm. Perfect!

The scarves from Garnet Hill retail for $68.00 US and the gloves are $40.00 US.
