NEW SEASON: Boutique by Jaeger Neon Knitwear

Fluro pop jumpers at Boutique by Jaeger, FashionBite 2I have a serious love of all things neon – fluro pop clutches, slashes of neon on shoes and shots of fluorescent on clothing. So I squealed with delight at Jaeger’s press day last week when I saw these new season neon jumpers in the AW12 Boutique by Jaeger collection.
