Imported from Camelot.

There was a time, a brief time, in the early 1960s, when we all believed anything was possible. Including elegance.

The gracious, charming, self-assured kind of elegance, that is, not the stuck-up kind…Pablo Casals and Robert Frost stopping by the White House for the evening to entertain us.

I reached back to that moment (real, not legendary) for this gracious knit sweater top and skirt.

They’re made of a luxurious blend of wool and cashmere. It stretches but keeps a smooth, fresh look throughout the day and into the evening.

Perfect for the busy season (first Monday of September on) when your dance card fills up.

We could all certainly use some elegance again.

Buckle Sweater (No. 7111). Stylish long sleeve sweater in a luscious blend of 90% wool and 10% cashmere. The buckle detail and ruching at wearer’s left shoulder aren't strictly essential, of course. Their mission is more of a head-turning nature (you'll see). Pearl ivory button. Acetate ring and buckle in ivory. Crew neck. Imported.
