Anyone want to help me find a jacket?

It has come to my attention that I could do with a new jacket for work.

Criteria:
Can be plain or patterned
Would like it to be coloured, ideally.
Must be a 'Winter' colour (bright blue/green/red/pink/purple)
Not massively fussy about shape, though am quite an extreme hourglass so fitted best and not too boxy.
Need to be available in a 10

Anyone seen anything? I am shite at jackets...

I'm also looking for a jacket but am rather large-of-bust (32H)

I have never been into Zara before but have seen this blazer online which I think might work.

Have any other larger-busted ladies had any success with Zara blazers?

I'm a 32gg and had to try on extra large in Zara yesterday

Yes, it fitted fine, just a bit above my budget

I think the sleeves were long though - I'm 5'9" if that gives you any idea of proportion.

I have that jacket, ellesabe. It's lovely...very soft and comfortable; like a sweatshirt. Maybe better for more casual office environments. I love how it fits but I have a teeny-tiny bust, so not sure how it would work on an hourglass shape?

Omg SC - I LOVE the way they describe their sizes!! Never seen that before!
At what point does one go from really curvy to super curvy though?!

Love the Pepperberry Jacket.. sizing is great too. I got a few things there and was very happy.

I love pepperberry too but am really after a pale blue one. I think a trip to Zara is in order...

Ooh thanks all, forgot about this thread! I have a couple of v similar Zara ones, which are great shapes but not wearing well at all. Hoping to find something that isn't majority polyester/viscose.

Nehru well, ideally it would work for both, but at the moment it would be in place of a coat IYKWIM.
