Gifts for Mom Black Alpaca Wool

I was so excited to find this design...it is so whimsical! As an animal lover & world traveller, I am drawn to the unusual which combines both...and to have the warm alpaca, was quite a find! I will wear this lovely seater over a turtleneck to keep me toasty & styling in our brisk New England weather.

I have been eyeing this sweater for months. Finally, I was able to save $20 off, so placed my order. I am a fan of Ana Fernandez's sweaters, and this one did not disappoint. The sweater fits me perfectly (size S). I can wear it buttoned down or not. The colors make it possible to wear with lots of different color slacks or jeans, although it is just a tad dressy for the latter. The pattern is woven in; at first I thought it was embroidered on, but I assure you it is woven as part of the garment. It truly is better in person than in the photo. And it is sooo soft. I absolutely love this item: the style, the overall pattern on the front, cuffs, and back, as well as its versatility. Ana has a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she designs next.

This is a very fine coat. It is so nice, it even looks great hanging on the hanger! It was a bit wrinkled when it arrived as it was folded into a tiny little bundle.. but it was not nearly as wrinkled as I thought it might be and the wrinkles fell out immediately after hanging. It's so warm and is just as attractive (I think it's more so!) as the cashmere overcoat I bought my husband years ago when we were working. With jeans or a dress, it's perfect.. and well, alpaca is so wonderfully warm for all that it's as light as a feather! I love it!
