Cashmere

How I have grown to love cashmere more each year. I mean, what's not to love? It is luxurious and practical at the same time.

Each year I have upgraded my knowledge and quality I've desired. Once upon a time I was happy with Old Navy's cashmere hoodies. Now, I want the best — fine quality cashmere from Nepal. A  great by-product from my trip to Nepal last year, was my contact in Kathmandu, whom I import cashmere from. He educated me on the different qualities, who likes what (the French only want black and the Italians only want the best) and supplied me with a quench for my addiction.

And now, I'm spreading my knowledge and fine quality cashmere. Cashmere was once thought of as a winter staple. Now it has become a year round staple. Scarves, ponchos, sweaters, socks and dare I say a robe, are all things cashmere I have acquired. I throw on a black cashmere sweater around the house, like most people put on a sweatshirt. I love it. Why shouldn't I feel cozy and still look chic. If it's good enough for the French, it's good enough for me.
