I see cashmere as one of those winter essentials - it's soft and cozy and oh so warm (I inherited a love for it from my mother and Nana - as well as a couple of sweaters!) So when A.H. and I popped into the very upscale Thrill of the Find on Queen East on a particularly cold and blustery day last weekend, a beautiful grey vintage cashmere sweater was the first thing I pulled off the racks. It fit perfectly, and for only $50 (and made in Canada to boot), I didn't need to think twice about buying it!
I've found that vintage cashmere is of much higher quality than new stuff - it's thicker and better woven (although I'm sure there are exceptions...if you're willing to pay for it!) This sweater is no different - thick, soft, warm and in mint condition! I even wore it to work last week with my new leather skirt :) Simple, yet chic!
