Lovely spring coat - but not perfect!

Tried this on in M&S today sping mac.

It was lovely - much nicer than picture, nice pipping and buttons. I like cream coats as they go well with my blonde hair. Managed to survive winter in a cream puffy coat ( it just gets washed more!)

But it is not perfect:

Pluses

Machine washable
Looks great and stylish with dark jeans
Good SAHM smart option
Good thigh skimmy length means can be worn with tunics

Cons
Material might crumple (might be difficult to iron)
Sleeve length a bit weird - not quite full lenght not quite 3/4
Double breasted - I am an broad shouldered apple (14) and so single breasted normally better.

So the big question is there anything better out there (budget up to £150)

I quite like that but I have seen some other nice ones in Marks and Spencers that are a bit cheaper even a couple in the sale.

Karen Millen one nice but not for my shape. I can't do belted macs - they just make me look like a barrel! I need a nice simple clean silhouette to balance out my lack of a waist!

another mango one

love the DP one tethers linked to

Thanks - I too think the DP is the best one. Will go and seek it out at the weekend. Problem I have in this colour is that cream & white are great but any form of camel totally washes me out.

Still really like the Limited one - it has some nice quality features on it.
