Will this look ok?

First of all, is it 'ok' to wear a smartish/tailored jacket undone with straight leg jeans and a vest top? I have no idea what is fashionable or looks good, I am 35 if that helps.

Then secondly, assuming the first is ok, does this ever work with huge norks? I tried a jacket on in Next the other day, but it just looked silly as my boobs just sort of stuck out the front. Confused

Finally, where can I find a decent/nice jacket?

I'm having trouble finding decent jackets as I have massive norks too. Currently a 38K and a big girl with it.

The outfit sounds fine though. Hopefully someone can come on here and tell us where to buy a jacket! Grin

It sounds like a nice outfit to me. The cut of a jacket is important, so you will probably have to try lots on to find one that works. Go for single-breasted, and look for one with a deep V neckline that is quite fitted on the waist. I have a one-button grey jacket that I bought from Toast a few years ago that is still going strong. As to where, the cut is most important so look anywhere you like the clothes and just expect to try loads on - sorry, maybe doesn't sound helpful, but it's necessary with jackets. As well as on the bust, pay attention to where it fits on the shoulder and on the sleeve length. Hobbs usually has some nice jackets. Also if you can get some wool content, it helps to stop it from creasing (depends on where you are planning to wear it, of course).
