Where can I find a long grey/charcoal cotton cardigan?

Is this just not the done thing? I've decided I really need one. The weather today was a bit mixed but not really cold so I reached for the only long cotton cardi I have and it's black - bought on a whim when was caught in cooler weather last summer. I don't really like black but really liked the overall look. Anyone seen one that isn't the most expensive thing in the world?

Thank you for looking! I feel like I'm coming across all precious and goldilocks. Blush The drapey one ginger is the colour but too draped as you said. The oasis link lady is the shape I'm looking for. Silver is clearly the coulour of grey for spring but charcoal Suits my colouring. Rusty, I wouldn't want to do up the buttons on the wool over one and think it wouldn't look right hanging open. (Def goldilocks!). I spent hours online yesterday.the only one I came across was something like £200.I've never paid that for an item of everyday clothing.

If only I'd worn something else yesterday! I'm a 12/14 pear. I had loafers with rolled up "skinnies" and a top that sat just below my waist. That combi would normally bring too much attention to my arse but this cardigan transformed my body shape. I was tall and thin looking again. And because there wasn't anything else fussy going on I could wear a lovely scarf.

I dyed mine with Dylon machine dye (one black, one navy). The dye is about £5 and I did a few other items too.

I've ordered 2 cards groin the house of fraser sale. Will see if they are ok!
