Do call me copy cat or whatever - i am useless to see clothes on hangers, and hate shopping for this reason.
I need a jacket ( for a year now I am on a look out) and saw on on a woman in town. It looks the job, and brand new.
I spent 3 hours now googling "fitted tweed jacket olive/pink lines, neither too horsey, no too formal" gives me no result. I have chacked all online shops I know who would do something like it - Rowlands, country casuals etc
Should i just comfort myself she bought it ages ago and just started to wear now?

Now I am thinking what that woman call me if she noticed me running after her and trying to get a picture?
Or shoud I have just cut the chase and be direct - "I love you style, where's your jacket from, lov?"
How far do you think she would have sent me?

All in all it was a joyful experience to see all those shops I have never heard of - and the price-tags as well.
Thank you mums, I tend to accept the jacket was last season Boden, (thank you Lucked) and I can't have it. Oh well, I'll live...

selfdescriptive name of the site Embrace for stylish life (before taking the credit card out I gather) Lucked
I checked Boden earlier, that was too green, too pink and not tweed Smile

That Boden one was the initial one I'd thought of lucked but couldn't find! Well done. It's on eBay OP, if it's the right one :)

Boden did have a green and pink one in a previous season.

There is an app called style eyes I think which is like a shazam for clothes.
I know it's not particularly helpful to you now and you would have to have taken a sneaky photo to use it!
That said I have never tried the app myself, but it does sound useful if it works!

I realise now this isn't a very helpful post!, sorry OP

I was going to suggest Ness too.

If shopstyle doesn't work for you try polyvore.com

I know LightastheBreeze, "olive and pink" in words may sound funny. And that Boden example - of a funny "olive and pink"
But mine was not that funny. From the fabric point of view the closest pattern was from the houseofbruar colour called LOVATLUPIN (middle) from the page Twinlestein kindly offered, although it is not quite olive and not quite pink.

Twinlesteine (great name) not House of Bruar (lovely as it is). The style is very it. Thanks for the website - I found a very close over-check in fabric

Oh thank you kind ladies, flu got the better of me and my jacket hunt.
It is lovely Lj8893 indeed, and closest in shape, even breast pocket is there. And there is no pink thin over-check - will you call me stupid for wanting one?
However may be I should start next google shot - with a key word "blazer" (cause I did it only for "jacket", abyss of fashion illiteracy).

This looks Olive and pinks lines, or was that not quite what you meant
