“Favorite sweater in my closet!”

The alpaca softness, colors and stitching of this sweater have made this my absolute favorite -- and I have A LOT of sweaters! I wore it recently on a trip and got so many compliments. The picture just does not do it justice!

“I love this cardigan!”

This is a wonderful cardi! It is so warm, but not too excessively thick. The colors are beautiful; they compliment wonderfully my facial features. I wear it a lot over my formal or casual blouses.
