What's not to love


What's not to love about cashmere?  The two winter coats arrived yesterday. Both need to be steamed, and my camera lens needs to be scrubbed, but other than that....

I made a mistake.  I assumed.  I double checked sizes and I forgot one important ingredient. Both are labeled the same size, a size up from my BB trench, which is my cold weather benchmark. The navy fits perfectly.  It makes me wish for cold weather, which normally I despise, and the cashmere weighs a ton but feels so incredibly soft.  The double breasted camelhair although returnable will likely fit next year, or perhaps the year after.


For what little I paid I'd rather keep the DB around just to look at rather than send it back.

Thrifters rejoice

Global warming be damned, how to decide? A camelhair for day or navy for night. Our family motto is "why chose?".

I was fortunate to find the camelhair on Etsy, the navy cashmere on EBAY. $100 delivered for both. Many thanks to all for your great suggestions.


They should both arrive by Friday. I'll report on them after they arrive.
