It's quite like this one from Monsoon but in blues. Has anyone seen anything like it?

Zara? here
Saw it on this blog susiesoso

LaTrucha · 19/03/2013 19:09

Ooo nice. Gives a more modern look. I'm trawling through Etsy at the moment. I haven't reached jacket nirvana yet, but that ne takes it in a slightly different direction that I quite like (perhaps because I was thinking light blue)
Thanks

lovely

LaTrucha · 19/03/2013 19:37

Very nice too. The one I had when I was five was a pale blue and white paisley with gold leaf print trim and satin edging. It was lush. I want it so much!

It sounds a bit clothkit Grin

LaTrucha · 19/03/2013 19:50

It very likely was.

They have this one in Monsoon too but the Zara one is cut much better and shows how frumpy this one could look.

What they looked like in the 70s. I'm tempted but I know it would be frumpy.

Any more. I'm umming and ahhing here. Zara one is a bit dark for me, Mango one a bit formal.

LaTrucha · 19/03/2013 22:28

I have come across this too, which is a bit like the Mango one but very cheap!

Might be a little loud?

joliejolie · 20/03/2013 14:21

I have this one and I really like it. Comfy and not too bulky and the print is not too busy, but still pretty and colourful.

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 17:15

Both really nice, although the ASOS one is over my budget. I really like the River Island one though. Maybe a winner.

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 17:17

Oh typical! It's out of stock in my size.

Cloth kits! Oh the memories, I'm sure my brother, sister and I were top to toe cloth kits

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 18:39

I still have some of my old clothkits clothes. I'm sure DD won't be seen dead in them.

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 19:37

Just found this one. Not as nice as the River Island one. Not sure if I like it at all [sulks]

OP posts:
joliejolie · 20/03/2013 19:45

Sorry, didn't know it would sell out. I bought mine ages ago from River Island directly, but it is current season. Maybe if you ring around the shops.
It really is pretty and flattering.

AWimbaWay · 20/03/2013 20:35

East

AWimbaWay · 20/03/2013 20:37

also east

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 20:39

Ah. It was the East one I meant to link to in my last. Thanks.

I'm fairly certain my Mum still has her blue cloth kits padded jacket in her wardrobe.
She said it would eventually come back into fashion :)

AWimbaWay · 20/03/2013 20:52

not sure what size you are, on ebay

AWimbaWay · 20/03/2013 20:54

also ebay

LaTrucha · 20/03/2013 21:08

Tell her to get it out! I'll have it!

Thanks for the ebay links. Quite expensive for me, especially without trying it on. Nice though, esp the Kate Moss one.

I didn't realise they were such a thing.
