  1. I love this look.

    Several questions on cashmere/Everlane sizing:
    - Is dry-cleaning a hard and fast rule for all cashmere?
    - How is this Everlane sweater holding up?
    - Should I size one up to get a loose "boyfriend" fit? I like that in your shot the fit is slouchy. It looks really comfortable.

    1. hi! wearing the S here. see my review on EL cashmere on sizing and care for more. i tend to dryclean but i also handwash with a cashmere shampoo; both are fine and there's been very little if any pilling on my EL knits.

  3. my two favorite cashmere's are pilled terribly - not from washing, more from super frequent wear. I think I'll check out Everlane's selection once I'm no longer in maternity. I've been wearing my black fur (faux) lined boots from Zara almost every day! I'm too much of a wimp to go without socks.

    1. have you tried a sweater shaver? they're quite handy for periodic knit maintenance.

    2. also, a sweater stone has come in super handy for my merino and cashmere blend sweaters. doesn't remove as much of the knit as a shaver.

    3. Even just a razor will do the trick! Just make sure it doesn't have one of those moisturizing strips on it ;)

  5. Swap the tote for my Mansur Gavriel bucket bags and the loafers for ankle boots and this is pretty much my daily uniform :)

  7. I just wanted to say that I always love all of your outfit posts, it's so refreshing to see such a simple classic style.
    I also tend to err on the simpler side, but here's my recent post of what I've been wearing lately http://www.erindepew.com/blog/2014/01/09/style-remix-kenneth-cole-knee-boots/

  8. Lovely and simple. I have the v-neck cashmere sweater in navy from everlane -- but now you are making me wish i had gottten the crewneck in light gray! They also have a new sweatshirt out that I want to try, but it sold out before I could get it. Supposedly it's being restocked so I will try it when it comes back. I have the french terry sweatshirt which is amazingly soft -- holding out to see whether it will eventually pill.

  9. I love black and gray. Always and forever!

    I look forward to the day when I can have bare ankles again. My Cole Haan loafers are beckoning, but for now I'm wearing my No. 6 ankle boots or Ugg Adirondacks over skinny jeans, button-down shirt, thick wool IM sweater, and my Barbour Bedale with warm liner. Based on how your Everlane cashmere sweater fits, I should probably order a medium, but I can't make up my mind.

  10. I love this look. Do you have the jeans in "coal" or "black out"? Do you find them true to size?

  11. So simply and so chic! I do a variation of this on weekend morning when I run errands. I just swap the jeans for my bespoke black trousers.
