"A Sunny, Sweet Smile" |

Oh how I love Ebay! I’ve been longing to own some J. Crew cashmere pretty much since I became aware of its existence, but their sweaters tend to retail at $150 plus a pop, so they’ve been out of my graduate and now post-graduate-still-searching-for-a-permanent-job budget. But it didn’t dawn on me until recently to simply look for one second-hand on Ebay. I scored this gorgeous sunshine beauty for a mere $50! And it is the softest, most luxurious thing I have ever owned. The color is so fantastic. This has quickly elevated itself to a new wardrobe staple for me.

Wearing items of good quality does something to you. Having soft, comfortable fabrics close to the skin just makes you feel so good. I think that every one should own at least one 100% cashmere item.

This outfit, by the way, is also what I decided to wear to Eyeliah‘s virtual birthday party. Nothing like a pretty dress and a sunny cashmere cardigan for dancing the night away, virtually or otherwise.

Love the color combo

Nice elements which all come together. And the final touch of the pearls is perfect!

Somehow I have been missing your posts – nice to have you pop up again! That yellow cardigan is just wonderful.
Last week I saw a black & white handbag, and considered buying it, but didn’t.
Now that I’ve seen your B&W dress, I wish I’d bought the bag.
I love eBay too – but for selling.

This is one of my fave looks of yours yet, darling! Love the layers, and that dress is gorgeous on you!

this dress is just amazing. i have been drooling over stripes on several blogs now, and i love the added ruffling at the neckline of this dress. thumbs up!

You look radiant, doll!

Lovely stripes!!!!!!

I really like the way this outfit came together – the silhouette, the colors, the fabrics. Its beautiful! Nice job!

Gorgeous! I love the warmth of the sunny color. Looks great on you.

Excellent idea to get one from eBay! I’ve never owned anything cashmere but I might just have to take a look. Love the yellow with the b&w.
