Uniqlo is without a doubt a go-to brand for inexpensive chic basics. Velvet by Graham & Spencer is without a doubt a go-to brand for comfy chic tops and dresses. Put these two brands together, throw in some cashmere and what do you get? A cozy chic cashmere sweater/cardigan collection that kinda makes me yearn for colder weather.
Given that Vince cashmere sweaters are easily running $300+ these days, this lovely Di Cashmere Off Turtle Sweater in gray seemed like a sweet deal for $129.90:
The sweater is long than it looks...it easily covers the booty. I will be wearing it all winter long with long-sleeved shirts underneath. Note the generous opening of the neckline. Not the choking tightness of a turtleneck but not the dramatic looseness of a cowlneck. It is a a very happy medium indeed.
I was eyeing the Di Cashmere Dolman Sleeve Sweater but I'm a practical girl, so I let that gorgeous sweater stay on the rack. It looked great when I tried it on but due to the cut of the dolman sleeves, the sweater rode up (way up) when I attempted to put a coat over it. The Di Cashmere Stole Cardigan (cardgian with an open cascading neckline) was only $129.90 and if I didn't have so many similar cardigans already, I'd be snapping one (or two) up.
If you are looking for basic v-neck and crew neck cashmere sweaters, Uniqlo is offering them in various colors for only $79.90. Basic cashmere cardigans are running $89.90. If you're build up your cashmere collection or need to replace some articles, Uniqlo is a great place to start!!
The thing about Uniqlo is that if you see a top/dress/swetaer that you like, you have to buy it on the spot because it's a pretty good bet that it won't be there the next time you go. They're great at stock new items but they don't really re-stock existing items - especially when it comes to pieces from a collaboration. I made the mistake last year of not buying a sweater that I loved, hoping it would go on sale, and I never saw it again.
