can't hack shopping anymore

[kiskidee]

and trying with a 1 yr old leads to nowhere. i need a couple cardy type things to wear with strappy / sleeveless tops to work. neutral tones please.

please help - hopelessly out of touch with what i can find where.

real knitted cardies or shrug type things?

If shruggy rather than knitted, I like this one and this one from F&Z's Great Shrug Hunt

My staple shopping list when searching for stuff for MNers run thus:
Next, M&S, Principles, Dorothy Perkins, Debenhams, M&S, Wallis, Topshop, Boden, Monsoon, Laura Ashley, La Redoute - any or all are worth a look.
