jacket,coats and jumpers for cooler mornings.

its that time of year again when I need to wear something warm in the mornings for the school run and at weekends if we go out for the day as it's often very cool in the mornings but then warms up..

I have coats for winter and a Boden rainyday mac which needs replacing, so I'm looking for ideas for coats jackets of jumpers that will help me stay warm whilst looking decent.

I have huge boobs32GG, short torso and huge thighs. at the moment I am a size 16, I think.

I find that if I wear my rainyday mac during the day, its ok in the morning, but often too warm for by about midday, and then okay again in the evening.

The boden rainyday mac has never fitted me on the arms as the sleeves are too short but it was an 'it'll do purchase' which I have had for about 4 years now.

I want to look stylish and well put together, but in reality I look the opposite of that.

Any ideas please? I am not very good at shopping for me so am asking here before I hit the shops/online.

Many Thanks in advance.

For 'in between' coats, I've got:

Boden denim photographer jacket
Brown leather biker jacket
A couple of long cardigans which look smart-ish

thanks for replying.

do Boden sleeves fit you okay? I don't think I have overly long arms but boden stuff just doesn't seem the right length for me. I will have a look though at the jacket as I've not seen that.

where do you buy your long cardi's from?
