I really got into cashmere last winter.  It is soft to touch, keeps you warm and is very flattering to wear as it is not too bulky.  My favourite jumper was also the cheapest, it was  from Sainsbury so I was keen to see if they were doing any this year so I headed to my local branch at the week-end.

Yes they have some in stock  but not in any of my colours.  For £30 you can buy a v neck jumper in pale pink, raspberry and soft green or a cardigan in the same colours for £35.  Great for all of you who have a cool skintone.  They also do black in both styles but unless you are a cool, clear or deep I would advise against wearing black as it can be very ageing.

Moths love cashmere so be careful how you store it.  I find that having the jumper dry cleaned keeps them away as they do not like the smell of the cleaning fluid but for a greener option keep cedar balls in your drawers and wardrobe.  You need to sand them every few months to keep them fresh. 

They also don't seem to like lavender so try hanging some lavender bags in your wardrobe to keep them at bay which has the added bonus of giving off a wonderful smell for months to come.
