Beginner's Luxe

You like to economize. Pinch a penny now and then. Save a buck or two.

Put another way, you’re pretty much a total tightwad. No, really. Your friends call you Thrifty McCheapskate behind your back.

When others spring for cashmere, you snort with disapproval. But what if you could get it for less than your average acrylic knockoff? Isaac Mizrahi has found a way to make hats, scarves, and gloves from 100 percent cashmere for prices so low even you can’t turn your nose up at it. Available at Target, the bright, fruity stripes of pink, orange, red, and yellow will cheer up even the gloomiest winter day. And at prices like these — $14.99 to $19.99 — you can buy sets for all your friends this holiday season.

It just may relieve you of that nickname once and for all.
