Looking back on the blog posts I’ve always invested in or been gifted good knitwear. I still wear all of that knitwear and love my cashmere jumper collection that I’ve acquired. They’ve all stood up very well to regular wearing. Investing is certainly worth it.
A lot of it is cashmere mixed with Merino wool and I’m happy with that but I was offered the chance to try a couple of items gifted by the Cashmere Specialist that are 100% cashmere and I’m over the moon with them.
First things first. Here I am checking that the light’s ok for photos. You really have to pick the right time of day during these winter months and I totally rely on those weather apps! Dee comes up with the ideas of where to take photos but I’m always the one who checks light/ aperture etc. The winter season is tough for us bloggers of late!
I chose a cashmere jumper in premium 2 ply
Obviously, I chose my cashmere jumper in my favourite neutral tone called Pema. This is the Emma jumper and I wish you could feel how gorgeous it is. So lightweight and fluid but warm as toast if that makes sense.
Consisting of two-ply and I’m impressed that this is washable at 30 degrees, it’s going to go with everything isn’t it? Such a neutral tone I’ve chosen, but the Emma jumper is available in so many colours. I’m sure I will be wearing this for many years to come.
I’ve chosen a V neck from the for a change. It’s the first V neck jumper I’ve had in a few years. I thought it would make a nice change to the usual roll neck I normally go for. There are so many different cashmere jumper styles on the Cashmere Specialist website and this V neck just popped out at me.
There are also cashmere and silk mixed items plus cashmere and cotton blend to choose from on the Cashmere specialist website But now I’ve been spoilt I would be more than happy to have more of this two-ply cashmere in my wardrobe! I’m including the caption below about why this cashmere jumper is so special
” 100% cashmere, 2 ply A timeless V-neck with tubular finishing.
1 cm deep hem and cuff, with a straight fit.
This design of this premium collection is made with exceptional cashmere at the standard of only 2 or 3 world renowned brands.
Features a 14.5 micron thickness, length of 36 mm, and extra white quality yarn.
The manufacturing corresponds to our usual high standards.
Hand knit, hand-made neck-finishing, and individually inspected for quality.
In addition to being exclusive, the amazing softness of this sweater will capture every connoisseur.
Please note the recommended price for this quality elsewhere would be approximately 700 to £800.”
This is a little more pricey than your average jumper but you’re getting what you pay for. I feel special in it and that’s what counts! I purposely sized up for the jumper. I know it’s going to look great with jeans too. I’m really pleased with how all these neutral tones are working together too.
I have a discount code for the Cashmere Specialist. Use Laurie at the checkout!
I’ve paired this gorgeous cashmere jumper with a new pair of stone-coloured trousers that are currently on sale at Reiss. As are the new neutral coloured shoes. The bag, belt and shoes all in various neutral shades all seem to fit together nicely.

A cashmere scarf makes the perfect gift for anyone
I’ve also received a scarf from the Cashmere Specialist. This is four-ply 100% cashmere and very reasonably priced for a hundred per cent cashmere. Again this feels gorgeous on and the two paired together makes me feel like I’m wearing a lightweight jacket!
I kept accessories simple letting all these neutral colours speak for themselves. My trusty foldable bag, new on sale nude courts and simple gold jewellery.
I think this outfit could be worn more casually or for the office or even dressed up for an evening out depending on what accessories you pair with it. A black blazer and black belt will look very smart too I think. The cashmere jumper will work with almost any colour.

Keep you and yours safe and well xx

I like cashmere if it’s really soft and love v-necks. Very flattering.

What a lovely neutral outfit! You wear neutrals so well 🙂 I don’t have any cashmere, we don’t need a lot of knits here in Brisbane, haha! but it always looks so cosy 🙂
Hope you are having a great weekend 🙂 We went out and did more Christmas shopping yesterday which was fun 🙂

I always envy your weather at this time of year Mica! I hope you enjoyed shopping xx
I am loving neutrals this fall!

Hi Michele! Yes, I’m a huge lover of neutrals. Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you again xx
Laurie, this monochromatic look is brilliant on you. What a gorgeous cashmere jumper. You can see the high quality in the photos. I only have one cashmere sweater that is so old that it has gotten all misshapen. But it is so soft that I keep it for loungewear and often sleep in it during the coldest nights. Thanks for linking with me.

Thanks, Anna. I’m glad I put this on a gentle machine wash because I’m wearing it so much! xx
I’m loving all the neutral colours Laurie, my favourite. This is a forever piece and will
go with everything. I do love cashmere. xx
Author
Thank’s Alison. I can’t tell you how lovely this feels on! Who’d have thought such a light knit would be so cosy!
I’ve always shied away from cashmere as I supposed it could only be washed by hand, so it’s a nice surprise to hear it can be washed at 30°. The V-neck jumper looks great on you too and there’s no one else who can wear a classic neutral look as stylishly as you do! xxx
Author
Oh! I have several knits that are cashmere mix and now this 100% one Ann and I wash them all in the machine on 30. I’ve never had a problem with that. Thank you for the neutral compliment. I’ve had a lot of practice! xx
Such a classic look, Laurie! Lovely!

Thank you Michelle. I love classic styling. You can’t go wrong!
Lovely jumper and I’m loving the v neckline too! I see the shoes and they look fabulous Laurie. x Thanks for sharing this – new-to-me company. Jacqui x
Author
Thanks, Jacqui. I hate my neck and normally cover it as much as possible! I’m glad I took the plunge with ordering the V neck. It’s a nice refreshing change.
Oh it’s so nicely warm, cashmere. A cashmere scarf would be a perfect holiday gift!
Author
I agree with you Nancy. This is above most average scarves. I wish you could feel how lovely it is! A reasonable price I think too.
That jumper looks lovely. You are the queen of monochromatic look: this is another one of your classy and beautiful signature outfits.
