This recycled cashmere sweater by Amour sans Anguish is awesome, but OMG, how ADORABLE would it be layered over a long sleeve white scoop neck tee? or even over a simple jersey dress? Lovely.

Must Have: Recycled Cashmere

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to get rid of cashmere…but they do. Seattle designer Beth Neilson thought they were still perfectly good, if maybe a little ugly, and re-designed old cashmere sweaters and scarves into new sweaters and scarves with just a bit of cutting and sewing, and a little re-aranging. The outcome is her line of recycled cashmere sweaters, scarves, hats, and bracelets:
