Amen. It’s been a long, unpleasant day, and I’d feel much better if I’d been wearing some cashmere. ---

I’m also wearing a vintage Chinese medalion that my Grandpa picked up in Siam during the 2nd World War. It says “Bliss”, so that’s helping matters too. Not only is it good luck, it’s big enough that if things get really bad I can use it as a weapon. 😃 CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHMERE… ---

I bought a gorgeous cashmere sweater at a J. Crew outlet a couple weeks ago. SUCH a deal (for cashmere, anyway). I intend to wear in Friday, which is supposed to be the coldest day of the week. Mmmm…cashmere… ---

Me, too! (Or, “Moi, aussi!”) I am in the cashmere sock sisterhood, wheee! 😃 ---

I have to get myself a gift from my Great Aunt for X-mas - I think I may stock up on a couple of pairs. They’re so soooooooft… ---

Oooh, I simply adooore cashhhmere. I keep it all in a box and whenever I’m down I’ll spread the sweaters and shawls and scarves over my bed and just fall asleep in a big cashmere womb, listening to rock 'n roll… ---

All you lucky ducks. I am severely allergic to cashmere, as in my skin breaks out. I found this out when my cousin gave me a beautiful cashmere sweater at age 16. ---

> [@Elenia28](#): > > All you lucky ducks. I am severely allergic to cashmere, as in my skin breaks out. :eek: That’s AWFUL! Was it pure cashmere, or was there some angora mixed in there? (I know lots of people that are senstive to angora, but I’ve never met someone who was sensitive to cashmere.) ---

Say, I bought three cashmere sweaters from Bluefly on Monday! They’re long sleeve, cable, crewneck sweaters and they were only a buck each! Whatta steal! I bought a pink one, a winter white one and a red one. I can’t WAIT to get them. This will bring my budding collection of cashmere sweaters up to nine. Yum, cashmere. ---

The best thing ever is to wear a cashmere sweater with nothing on underneath. It feels soooooo good. When I wear a cashmere sweater to work (with bra of course, don’t want the men to be tripping over themselves) I always come home afterward and the first thing I’ll do is take my damn bra off and wear it commando-style. Mmmmm warm and fuzzy. 🙂
