Good Monday, everyone! It has been quiet here on MJOAT for the last week or so as was on a week long break due to some travelling, a break well deserved after the month long chaos (in a good way that is) last holiday season.
This year we are witnessing one of the coldest winter days in the last 10 years in Dubai. temperature went down to as low as 10 degrees Celcius last week accompanied by plenty of rain for Dubai standard. We welcome this 'cold' spell with joy! It is strange somehow looking around the house and see the boys wrapped in sweaters and socks with one of them sporting a red nose due to cold! Time like this gives me justification for some outrages purchases I made on cashmere sweaters last October in the US.
I love cashmere.. well, it is easy to love something so light yet keeps you warm and super comfortable. This poncho is one of the latest purchases I made and it is worth the $$$ especially knowing that I will wear it a lot. I would spend a lot of dollar on a couple of cashmere sweaters than on many pairs that would cost me as much but not doing the trick - less layer, less bulk!
With good care (hand wash with the mildest detergent is the best) a pair of good cashmere sweater will last you a long time, a good investment in your wardrobe!

And how smart you look in it! Love the combinations and silhouette on you. Very cool and sophisticated. I've never had a cashmere sweater ... scarves, a couple of them, though, and know how wonderful they feel against your skin. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteNice for you to be able to enjoy a bit of traditional seasonal weather ... must be fun to watch the other women in your world respond to it!
Such a luxurious piece and the berry color is just perfect. Love how you paired it up with olive!
ReplyDeleteCashmere is just such a lovely sweater material. I love how this sweater has a shorter sleeve. It'll keep you warm, but you won't be too hot.

A great look, love the color combo...So funny that you are embracing the colder temps, while others complain... then again I have friend stuck inside due to lots of snow after moving to colder temperatures in Minnesota compared to her home here in Virginia...
ReplyDeleteMrs C, what a great color combo! You wear that sweater so well. It's cold here in Vancouver too. I'm looking forward to spring.

Cashmere garments are amazing - light, warm and soft. As you rightly mentioned such things are worth the money one spends on them. Your sweater has a nice colour and I love its loose style.

I love the feel of cashmere against your skin. You can never go wrong with it. I am wishing for some cold right now. California winter has been hijacked by summer.
ReplyDeleteI love the color pairing of this outfit!

Ooooh, very cozy look! Even though your outfit is casual, you still have that je ne sais quois. Very stylish! 10 degrees does sound cold for Dubai standards. I'm assuming you don't have heating, only air conditioning. Brrrr.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Sue.. no heating! But there are some neighbors that has gone to the extend of buying a couple. Us, nah.. we'd embrace the rare coldness :)
DeleteGreat look, love the colours :)
ReplyDeleteHey Ida! :) I love this gorgeous outfit. I'll be stalking your page for more outfit ideas.
ReplyDeleteSee you on the next Blogger's event! :)

I love those colors together...one of my favorite winter combos. While it's always cold here in the winter, we have been seeing way too many days with very below normal temps...today it's around -15 with the wind chill!
