Very nice! But the collar would drive me nuts - it would be covered in make-up in 5 minutes!

I am hoping to get one on Wed. Going to one of these shopping outlet places where I've never been before.

I have a gorgeous Hobbs animal print mac (now 2 yrs old) but it's not warm enough for cold weather. My current winter coat is 5 yrs old and I bought it in a charity shop for £5. It is plain black, wool mix, zip right up front, knee length and quite fitted. No idea what make it is as there was no label in it. I have loved it and loads of people have admired it. I got it out today and a) it is looking threadbare and b) it is too big for me now I have lost weight.

I am hoping to grab a bargain!:)

I bought mine on facebook, brand new with tags £3 - can't get a better bargain then some of those annoying yet helpful facebook selling pages! Also got a 'worn once' peter storm waterproof padded oh so warm coat for £6 sells for around £100 online and it looked brand new! Bargain Queen lol!

After moaning I actually ended up buying one :rotfl:
Another for Asda, it's a dark burgundy with military style fastenings (not the same one as balletshoes, though I did think we were going to be coat twins for a minute there!) and - wait for it - a HOOD! :j It's not massively thick but I tend to wear layers or big jumpers anyway, and since it's been chucking it down since I bought it then so far is doing well for being waterproof

No luck on my coat shopping trip yesterday. Must have tried on about 25 and narrowed it down to one and then wasn't sure about that. I really want knee length and this was more of a long jacket.

Back to the drawing board.
