Twinsets are my dresser retirement dressing, my retirement suit and they'd work equally well for corporate wear on days when you're not meeting a client or doing something high-flyer conference talk! I'm excited to see what gorgeous pairings you come up with.

S...Thanks, Pieta, your UK trip sounds soo exciting. Sounds like you have a Scottish connection. It will be wonderful, especially in August.<br />Back to VAT! Yes it must be difficult to tell unless VAT is specifically mentioned (it's a tax applied to goods purchased in the UK). Woolovers used to exlude VAT, so I know they have the capability. There are other companies which don't apply it, or a refund can be obtained after a bit of paperwork palaver, but as it's not worth my effort for a cardi, I avoid buying unless it's something minimal like my one £12 cardi purchase. Rant over, sorry to burden you !!!<br />Gosh, bet you wish you hadn't mentioned your purchases, which sound super-lovely and I wish I could see you wearing them in August!

The cashmere/cotton has a lovely drape and is soft but warm. I'm hoping they will be a good buy when I travel to the UK in August.

They started doing that to me when they revamped 18 months ago and I was irked by their reply when I queried it so have only bought one sale item since. I haven't tried the cashmere/cotton, how does that feel and hang? Your idea of a matching poncho sounds beautifully edgy and perfect for your winter. I'm guessing you don't have truly cold winters so the blend sounds perfect for Oz in the colder months. <br />Hugs, my sweetie, x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-32112842306498772502018-04-12T23:26:44.788+01:002018-04-12T23:26:44.788+01:00I am definitely a fan of the twinset with the mode...I am definitely a fan of the twinset with the modern look as you have described. I am also a great fan of Woolovers and have recently bought a couple of cashmere/cotton blend jumpers. As a lady of certain age I find wool too hot even in winter. I was disappointed not to be able to get a matching cardi though. Think I will settle for a poncho.Petal49https://www.blogger.com/profile/14641383643509962593noreply@blogger.com
