Girls School Coat - boring but neccessary

[LynetteScavo]

For DD starting reception.

I want a dark colour, black, navy or grey.

No fluffy pink hood trims.

Warm, and price not an issue if it's worth it.

Please hold my hand and guide me.

Got a lovely one for dd1 from M&S last Spring. Was a grey/purple colour, midway between thigh and knee and padded.

Did have a furry hood but was purple/grey and didn't look too sicky. Think it was about £20. It wasn't online, I just went into the store. (store? what am I, American?)

this year's selection (if aged 6 isn't going to swamp her)

there are some nice plain ones in the age 1-7 category but they also have furry hoods galore

Thanks, I really like THIS but I'm not sure how warm it is.

I've always bought her a Boden down (or fake down) coat, but the colours aren't right.

I might have to go for the Boden duffle.
