There's no such thing as too much cashmere in Girlawhirl's world, but this year, she's very much over the basic crews and V's that she's been stockpiling for the past few seasons. Right now she's into pretty and feminine styling – things that she can wear to the office but that also do the job for a dinner after work or even a casual holiday party…
• Pretty under a jacket at work and just right on its own with jeans or a skirt for going out, Girlawhirl loves the fit, weight and shape of this modern short sleeve scoopneck from Banana Republic. She found it online. It's not available in the stores.

• Great for the office over a button down shirt and pencil skirt or on the weekends with a T shirt and Jeans, Girlawhirl can't get enough of this made for layering cardigan from Beth Bowley. And the Peacock color is surprisingly versatile – it works with all her basics, black, brown, grey and navy.

• This deep crossover V has all the drama Girlawhirl wants for a night out, but when layered over a camisole for the office it's surprisingly work-fabulous. Either color is attention grabbing and energizing, so as far as Girlawhirl's concerned, she's sold.

• Girlawhirl's had her eye on this cashmere tunic from Joie for a few weeks, drawn in by the flattering square neckline and the comfy shape. It's selling out quickly so she'd better order now to make sure she gets one. Whether it's the stripe or solid she ends up with will depend on what's left in her size… she's sure that either will be a great addition to her wardrobe.

• And if she ends up with the solid grey tunic, she might just have to get the striped version in a dress - so cute with leggings for the weekends or tights and heels for going out.

• Girlawhirl can't even think about cashmere without thinking of J.Crew. Between the variety of styles and sheer number of colors offered, the collection can't be matched in terms of size. But Girlawhirl also knows that when she makes a purchase she's getting a top quality sweater at a pretty incredible price. And this year, J.Crew's expanded their assortment even more, including several styles that fall into Girlawhirl's quest for pretty, feminine and not too basic sweaters. Her favorites below: the Femme Cardigan, Bateau ¾ Sleeve Sweater and Anna Jacket.
