Hi,
I started by buying this jacket

clothing/jackets +-+ coats/ - ABBEE JACKET FROM TED BAKER

Then I bought this dress (btw, Dotty p has really upped its game this year IMO)

and blossom&pageSize=20 Dotty P Navy dress

However my husband dislikes the jacket. Now, I know that as an independent MN'er I shouldn't care, but I do. I want him to think I look nice when we get a weekend together at a wedding.

He has also vetoed a stripy jacket.

I am wearing Nude Sledge's and a nude hat neither of which I am changing. If I can't have the ted baker jacket I want something small and fitted ala Kate and Pip.

My most recent idea is coral/orange....

Help I need a jacket!

Wow, that dress is stunning! Sorry, couldn;t see the jacket in your link.

I also concur, orange or coral would be ideal. How much are you looking to spend?

LikeAnAdventCandleButNotQuite · 05/02/2012 08:26

I also think the dress could be worn without a jacket, maybe just a pashmina?

monsoon

If it's not a summer wedding, and you need more of a coat than a jacket then this would look fabulous over the top

That dress is amazing .

I have a lovely little cropped faux fur jacket that would look nice with that dress.

Thanks everyone, glad you like it! They really have got some amazing dresses at the moment.

Am thinking this

ORANGE JACKET

or this

H&M one

Would really like the stripy ponti one at DPs but DH thinks I own too many stripy things. Well, my daughters teacher did comment once on how many stripy tops I wear...... he might be right!

The H&M ones looks nice on the pictures.

AWimbaWay · 05/02/2012 11:45

nice orange hobbs jacket, but 5 times the price of the h&m, so go for the h&m!

Oh, and OP, thanks, got 4 weddings next year and was worried I wouldnt be able to find a nice dress.

Job done!

I agree d Perkins designs the season are lovely.

nomoreminibreaks · 05/02/2012 12:06

I've seen some lovely orange/coral bits in new look (I'm doing that colour accessories for SIL's wedding).

I also picked up a corsage/hair accessory in that colour with a black trim in wallis (sorry no link as on iPhone) for £7!

trixymalixy · 05/02/2012 12:12

Phew I'm glad coral is still in this year as I have bought a coral dress to wear to a couple of weddings this year.

trixymalixy · 05/02/2012 12:12

As in I bought it last year in the sales.

actiongirl1978 · 05/02/2012 12:13

OOOH, thanks everyone, loving the coral and orange thing and it is nice to hear that I am not completely out of the fashion loop after the DCs!

Nomoreminibreaks - will check out the accessories. I have a very Kate hat - perches on my forehead with netting and is tres glam and the nude shoes (which DH insists on calling beige...) so a little coral accessory might be just the job!

Oh and LIkeanadventcandle - glad I helped! I couldn't believe how good it looked for the price!
