To be honest I find it a little bit lightweight for a cashmere sweater, I like to feel all cozy and warm in my cashmeres and I was not while wearing this popover (because of the boatneck and the 3/4 sleeves and also because it's horribly cold here). I really love the fit and color and I would buy it again for the price, but I wouldn't buy multiples, I prefer a turtleneck.
The necklace that I'm wearing with it is a $5 necklace that I bought from a street vendor. Usually I'm not a "charms" person, but I loved the fall colors of this one and I knew that it would look great with a cinnamon spice sweater (that I didn't own when I bought it, but I KNEW I would own one day):
Speaking of cashmere sweaters that are not so warm, I tried a new cashmere cardigan when I was at Jcrew on New Year's Eve. It's a double-breasted cashmere cardigan with a punched trim above the ribbed bottom band. Sorry, I don't know what's the term for that, the pics will speak by themselves:
I was drawn to it mainly because it came in the honey glaze color (pictured) and because I thought that both the style and the color would be a good match for my sweet guava blouse. I think it's very feminine and pretty (even if a little bit retro); however, personally I wouldn't spend $178 in a cashmere cardigan that is so flowy and open (meaning not warm), it feels like a waste. It's a bummer that they didn't make in another blend or even cotton, with a more attractive price tag.
By the way I wanted to thank you for all the suggestions that you have left on my sweet guava post. I haven't commented back but I plan to have a follow-up post soon (I'm waiting for something that I have ordered with the 20% off to try with it. Not sure that it will work but it wasn't final sale).
Do you like this new cardigan?
I love the honeyglaze cardigan, but it seems a bit short, in my opinion. I LOVE the long necklace you bought from a street vendor of all people! How adorable!
ReplyDeleteI just returned my classic button crewneck cardigan from JCRew that I got yesterday. I thought it was too thin to be warm! So glad you agree! My LE ones are so much warmer and thicker. Would rather buy their great colors as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the color, but ITA with Pamela, it looks a bit short, so definitely not worth full price. Not warm enough either, so maybe more of a spring/fall piece?
ReplyDeleteI also prefer the cashmere in a turtleneck!
I love the style on you, it is so cute, but agree that it should have been made in a different yarn and at a lower price point.
