Have you ever heard the story of the Princess and the Pea? Basically, this princess has to prove she is actually a princess by sleeping atop dozens of mattresses with one pea underneath them all. She can't sleep, because being on top of that pea is so unbearably uncomfortable. This proves that she is indeed a princess, earning her the right to marry the prince and live happily ever after.
Well, my mother is that princess. She is sensitive to lumpy pillows and bad fabric...and even some good fabric. In fact, I have never known my mother to wear wool or unlined cashmere because, just like the princess, she finds them far too uncomfortable.
Until now.
The Tory Burch Simone Cardigan ($225) made of "fine wool" changed all that. The yellow sweater looked so fun and sophisticated on my mom, she just had to buy it. And somehow, magically, the wool doesn't bother her.
Now that is a storybook ending.
