A new favorite in my wardrobe. . . . .

Nothing beats cozying up in a cashmere sweater on a
 cool day. . . . . . or a chilly evening.
 Does it?

This is my recently acquired sweater for fall/winter of 2020, and actually

 my birthday gift from Bob.

Above you can see the horseshoe cable design better on the lighter shade, 

below is the same sweater in black which I chose.

It is gorgeous! 

Ticked all the boxes for me, plus I managed to grab it during a sale!

Note: Although described as a 'tunic sweater' I would call it more just a

longer length, but not a tunic which usually comes further down the thighs.

I'm tall and for me this length is perfect.

Luxurious, slightly heavier textured, pure cashmere.

Well constructed and finished.

Roomy but not baggy.
Funnel neck - so much more comfortable than a turn over

 turtleneck - which is often too warm here in the south - and

looks best with my now much shorter hair.

Longer length - can be worn with pants and skirts.

Sleeves also a great length, I often can't find those.

So soft and cozy.

Cabled funnel neck cashmere from Garnet Hill

This is not an ad for Garnet Hill, however I have purchased several sweaters,

both cashmere and alpaca, over the past years from this New Hampshire company.

All have been great. Being a small company, they have always had excellent 

customer service.  

If this sweater goes on sale again, I may just buy another color . . . . . and then

 move somewhere with a cooler climate so I can wear it every day!

Are you buying a new sweater for the winter days ahead?

Next, I'll be searching for a new, perfect for me, robe.

A perfect Christmas gift and certain to be worn a lot this winter

with more time at home.

This may be difficult as I do not like heavy, bulky robes which

make me feel just that - heavy and bulky! I'm already dealing

with a few extra COVID pounds, how about you?

It also has to be the right length, long but not too long so I trip 

on it going up and down the stairs.

Fleece is fun but only if a thin, lightweight version.

Flannel is comfortable but looks somewhat wrinkled after lounging.

Velour can be perfect and comes in gorgeous colors.

I like a shawl collar, deep pockets, substantial tie belt - definitely

 with belt loops - that doesn't end up like a twisted rope, and

 makes me feel like a sack of North Carolina sweet potatoes!

Here's to a new week - let's make it a good one.
