We were thrilled to read Just Jared last week to see Ashley Olsen in our 80′s Krizia cashmere fox sweater! She paired the top with a pair of pants from the upcoming Textile Elizabeth and James line. We loved how she looked so much we decided to pull animal/animal-print/animal-inspired sweaters off our sales floor. Our picks, below:
