FALL/WINTER ESSENTIAL: Dress Like a Frenchie w/ Sweater Basics ft. Sézane, La Ligne, Jenni Kayne

[@Faithb73]

I bought a beautiful Jenni kayne pure cashmere sweater, second had online for about 1/4 the original price and it doesn’t look like it was ever worn. It’s a great buy when the fit and color is exactly what I was looking for and the fact that I’m giving it a new life instead of the landfill.

That’s a great find! 1/4 the original price is an amazing deal.

@ *LVGUCI* The canvas tote actually reminds me of the Hermes Garden Party too. Thanks for making this video to suggest more budget friendly alternatives. love it!

I love a silk and cashmere blend, or any natural fiber blended with silk. It’s so comfortable on my sensitive skin. My favorite-ever clothes are in silk jersey, but they are so hard to find.

[@TeaTimeinParis]

I agree. I’ve been wearing the silk/cashmere blend and I think I might like it more than the 100% cashmere ones!

[@melbelle1457]

Agreed!

Does Charly jumper runs small or true to size? I am normally between xs and s and wonder if I should go for medium in this.

[@TeaTimeinParis]

It is a slim cut but the material is quite stretchy, so I’d imagine an S should be fine. I guess it depends if you want it to have a bit of room or a snug fit. Mine is an XS if that helps.

I think Jenni Kayne is overpriced. One can get beautiful cashmere sweaters from Banana Republic for $200, and closer to $100 at Quince. Because I live in a mild-winter climate, I actually prefer the thinner cashmere that Quince uses, but they don’t always have every style in the the light colors I want. I also got tao beautiful, more interesting, cashmere Polo sweaters (may favorite style), one is ivory with taupe trim and the other is a multi-soft neutral stripe. I mostly wear solids, but I like to have a few sweaters with stripes or other details, like contrast trim, which I love. Thanks for sharing your pretty collection.

[@TeaTimeinParis]

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t checked out Quince yet. At first I thought maybe Jenni Kayne’s cashmere is more premium but after going to the store and feeling the material I really don’t think it’s any more premium than the ones you can get elsewhere so I didn’t see the point of paying more for them. I’m always on the look out for more cashmere sweater brands 😆

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Where is the plaid skirt from, please?

[@TeaTimeinParis]

Hi, it’s from the French cashmere brand Eric Bompard.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I hate those really long sweaters, I’m petite and they just drown my shape, for me sweaters have to tuck in or end higher above my hips, near my waist. That’s another thing I noticed about Jenni Kayne designs, even on those super-tall models, their sweaters end below the leg break. They would be almost knee-length on me, no thanks!

[@TeaTimeinParis]

Couldn’t agree more! I was very happy to find sweaters with the perfect length and fit on me.
