I am all about the jumpers, too! In fairness we get good wear out of them in this part of the world :)
Ella I know what you mean about the bulkiness. It is hard to find a good quality jumper that is both slouchy, comfy but yet not too bulky.
I am in fact in love with an All Saints cashmere sweater that ticks all the boxes and there is 20% off at the moment. I was thinking I could get it for DH to give to me for Christmas ('Surprise!') but I am also convinced there will be a dozen more things I would prefer between now and then, so I will hold fire for now.
