I agree that I really liked the style and the layering aspect. The price is what gave me pause also. I'm sure it's a decent price for 2-ply cashmere, but at this time of year (holidays coming and most of my family's bdays - ugh!) I couldn't justify the cost. Plus, since I'm unfamiliar with how cashmere washes/wears, I was afraid pilling might be an issue and I hate pilling.
