Things I want if anybody can be bothered to help me look

Am so ready for Autumn clothes now.

Am stoney broke, so may not be able to actually buy any of these things but I am looking for:

a jacket that is shaped like a biker jacket but not in leather or denim - possibly grey;

a cropped, three-quarter sleeved jacket in grey or navy, possibly slightly military;

some slim-leg (but not skinny) black or grey work trousers for a short arse - I think they are called cigarette pants;

a white shirt with some pretty vintage-inspired details and a v neck, possibly a bit Russian-peasant but with no colour;

brown knee high boots.

Any ideas?

I have last years version of this Boden jacket but I don't like the belt on this year's version.

Thank you - not fond of that one. Think it's the pockets, as well as the belt, putting me off. And the price tbh!!

Don't much like this one but it is more the sort of shape I'm after.

Got my black ciragette pants from GAP 3 years ago and still going strong (unwearable for 3 years dur to pregnancies!)
Just had a look and they must now be the same as "true straight" on the website but it's not working too well.
Worth a look instore.

need shortening by about a foot though!

The new true straight aren't very slim in the leg. They fit me really well though (have long legs - think you will have to take them up).

Thanks - could do with them in a petite fit though, as they tend to look boxy when taken up.
