If you’re like me and Autumn is your favourite time of year, after all, it is the season of Halloween, then you are more than ready to start bringing out the earth tones and jumpers.

Their ‘Susie Q’ cardigans have a 1930s inspired fit and make a great addition to any outfit, whether that be a dress, skirt or trousers.
