I am so sick of wearing winter clothes!!!! By now, everything is dull and worn. Can't wait to put away my winter jackets but........it's Mar 30 today and it's snowing - again!. As much as I would like to wear light and bright springy clothes, it's still too cold! Guess we aren't having any spring this year!!!

That happened to me last year. I wore wool/corduroy through April. I DID get a lot of wear out of my boots last year, but I was really sick of having to wear them by the end. It seems that we virtually bypassed spring (minus the allergies, of course) and went into summer.

I have not dry cleaned any outerwear yet because I feel like as soon as I do, I will need to pull them out again.

I'm still finding great deals on sweaters and wool items (which I'll put away until next fall) ... this is also the only time I will buy cashmere because the prices are really fantastic.

I can't wear wool next to my skin, but I do like wool blazers (you might already know that ) but I was flummoxed to see cashmere tees. I wonder how many people can wear those next to their skin (and the pain to clean them).

Right now it's 38 degrees, so I could still be wearing sweaters with no problem.

Raising my hand ... I wear a lot of matching sets -- open front cardigans with tees. Love the look. Dry cleaning is sometimes a nuisance, but I keep buying the darn things. (What's that definition again?)

Love these belts. May I ask where you found them? Love to see all the finds you discover.

I wear cashmere next to my skin but hand wash them, I wouldn't want dry cleaning chemicals next to me. Quality cashmere washes fine no matter what the label wants. I like those belts, hard to choose a favorite.

Oops! I didn't see this until now. They are all from Norm Thompson, although you can find similar ones (Pistil) at 6pm.com and Sundance Catalog.

Hey, you were going on vacation. Other things on your mind. Thank you for the info. I thought of you last Saturday morning. Was at check in at the Denver airport and there was a woman in front of me with a pair of boots similar to what you have posted. Told her how nice they look on her and we had a nice fashion conversation as we wound thru the line.

I just started putting away my cashmere/wool sweaters as I have finished wearing them I wash all my sweaters at home so much easier and cheaper than the cleaners. You can buy Eucalan which is a wash for wool and doesn't need to be rinsed out.

I dried 2 cashmere sweaters outside yesterday, it was breezy and it didn't take long at all. Wash in cold water gentle cylcle in a bag then dry.
