…and waiting and waiting here. I actually had to break out a cashmere sweater today. IT IS JUNE, people! How can this be? Well, ok, I am known to have hands straight from the morguedrawer even on an 80 degree day, I run a bit chill all the time, and a small breeze makes me run for a scarf no matter what, but still!

In any event, there’s a tag-party going ’round some of my fav blogrs where you list your own wardrobe basics. This cashmere sweater would be one. I always try to stock up on larger size slouchy vintage men’s cashmere V-necks at the thrift store. You’d be surprised what decent quality ones I have found, older vintage ones from the 60s are great. They are usually so reasonably priced I end up using them in place of the ubiquitous sweatshirt everyone else wears. And they can be washed in cold water and layed out to dry like any other sweater, I find. I like to pair them with some dark bootcut jeans, a bit of silver jewelry and some interesting boots. No, not earth-shattering, but super comfy and just a bit slouchy-cool…
