Happy Friday! Fall is definitely in the air because I've been looking at Naked Cashmere's September Collection. Cozy sweaters and pullovers are going to be my work from home outfit for the next few months. My office was planning on re-opening after Labor Day, but with the Delta cases on the up tick, they decided to push it back till mid-October, but I think honestly, we won't be going back until next year.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. I wear size XS in Naked Cashmere. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.
Joni Storm Gray Size XS
I actually purchased this Joni cashmere pullover hoodie in Sandy earlier this year and love it so much I decided I also needed to get it in Storm Gray. It's a light weight cashmere at 286 grams and feels super soft. I've purchased cashmere from J.Crew and Banana Republic and I can say that sometimes I have found their cashmere to be itchy which is weird because cashmere should not be itchy at all.
I'm wearing size XS and it is slightly oversized which I prefer. It's the perfect combination of athleisurewear and cashmere that emanates luxury. This outfit is what I am looking forward to wearing this fall.
Anita Cotton Cashmere Cappuccino Size XS
(Currently sold out, but Light Stone is another fantastic neutral.)
The Anita crew pullover is made of cotton cashmere (85% cotton and 15% cashmere) and it's easy on the wallet (compared to 100% cashmere) but doesn't compromise the quality or the softness. I'm wearing size XS in Cappuccino and it's a beautiful shade of camel. It's very rich in color. Cotton cashmere has a beautiful drape as well.
also wearing Athleta Seasoft Straight Pant Size XS Petite
The hem hits at the high hip, the sleeves are just a tad long but look great pushed up. I think this is a petite friendly top that looks best tucked in the front to create a effortless drape. Cappuccino is currently sold out, but I also love the Light Stone color which was my second choice. As an alternative, J.Crew has a beautiful cotton cashmere pullover in Heather Caramel (on sale $68.50) it's like half the price of Naked Cashmere. I reviewed it in black and wear size XXS. There's also a matching jogger which I love. To be honest, between the two I think J.Crew definitely gives you the best bang for your buck and it's also machine washable!
Last but not least we have the Lilia relaxed crewneck also made of cotton cashmere. I am wearing the Light Stone color in size small. I decided to size up in this top because of the cropped length. It measures 17.5 inches long with short sleeves that come up to my elbow. This also has a raw hem that rolls slightly.
Lilia Light Stone Size Small
This top is perfect for super casual days made for lounging around/running errands. It's slightly boxy and would look great paired with black leggings. It's a nice option for transitional weather. I've already worn this piece on date night and love it.
Out of the three pieces, my favorite is definitely the Anita cotton cashmere crewneck. That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

hi Leslie, Thanks for the fit review! My favourite on you may be the Lilia relaxed crewneck. I like the boxy, cropped cut and angled seams of the sleeves! The Anita crew pullover is also very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Thank you! I a won over by cotton cashmere. I think I'll just switch to that instead of pure cashmere from now on.
DeleteI agree! I have pure cashmere scarves, but for sweaters, I prefer cotton cashmere because they're machine washable!
