I haven’t shared any recent Poshmark scores for a while, so I thought it was the perfect time to show you a couple new additions to my closet!
I mentioned back in November that I’ve become somewhat obsessed with Garnet Hill’s cotton and linen sweaters. They are just so classic and beautiful, but the retail price of $100 – $160 is a little nuts. I came so, so, so close to pulling the trigger for a sweater on their website when they had a recent sale, but when I realized their sale and a promo code wouldn’t stack… I closed my browser and walked away.
So, when the exact cardigan popped up on Poshmark… I immediately gave it a ‘heart’ and waited.

I had been eyeing the Ecru/Caramel striped version, but this one in Tourmaline would also work great with my wardrobe. It’s still on the Garnet Hill website for $159 and the seller had it listed for somewhere around $55 – 60ish. After a few days of waiting patiently, the seller sent me an offer for $44 and I happily purchased it.
In person, it’s a great amount of slumpy and oversized, while still having a pretty linen + cotton chunky weave. However, on literally the first day I wore it, a couple threads got stuck in the strap of my purse! Had I paid $159 I would have been livid and heartbroken. Having paid $44, I shrugged it off, grabbed a safety pin and pulled the loose threads back to the other side.
I’m not really a ‘be careful with my clothing’ kind of girl, so I’m sure it will happen again and again. However, I buy clothes to WEAR them… so I’ll fix it when it needs to be fixed. It did cure my thoughts of purchasing a striped one at retail price though.
The second item I found on Poshmark, is another Garnet Hill gem.
This is the Essential Cashmere Retro Cardigan in Dijon and it is currently on their website for $179. It was new with the tags still attached (and the plastic baggie with the button attached to the inside tag) and the seller had it listed for $40. I took a chance and put in an offer of $30 and to my delight, they accepted it!
My best guess is that it was perhaps a Christmas gift with no gift receipt. As it was, it arrived at my house quickly and it is absolutely gorgeous. The color, the speckled hints of other colors, the classic shape, the softness of 100% cashmere. I love it so much and I can’t wait to wear it a million times.

I love that chunky sweater! The color is beautiful. It is so hard to find good colors when buying online. Maybe it’s just me, but it is always a real find, when I don’t have to compromise on the color. I love the dijon classic, too. Beautiful shape and color. Have a good day!
Thank you Nancy!
