Bluefly is having an additional 15% off cashmere today only.  Sorry to enable, but it is 20 degrees in Chicago so all I can think about is warm sweaters.

I'm not afraid to admit my addictions. :)

Can anyone advise on the quality / durability of the brands? Currently in my shopping cart are the following:

- Autumn Cashmere

- CeCe

- TSE

- Cullen

I am not familiar with any of these brands for cashmere. I hate pilling so would avoid any brands that are prone to it. Also, I run between a medium and a large top, so any fit advice would be great...

I can't speak to the other brands, but TSE is wooooooooonderful! I have at least fifteen cashmere sweaters and my TSE sweaters are by far my favorites in terms of comfort and softness. They feel so, so, so nice. I've had one TSE sweater for around five years and it's still great, so I think that this brand is highly durable.

Also, in general, I've found that cashmere quality is directly proportional to cost -- so the more expensive the sweater were originally, the better they'll probably feel. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to be shelling out $450 on sweaters that often.

THANK YOU Farrah, and twinkle. I ordered a TSE cardigan and got a smokin' deal. And of course I used the ST link. Any day I can catch a good price on cashmere is a great day for me! :)

I can't wait for it to arrive. It's been rather chilly in Atlanta!

So now I have black, brown, and red cashmere cardis. I was hoping for something in green or a teal, but I'll keep looking.
