Same as me, right down to the norks - also looking for an identical coat to you by the sound of it! Can't be bothered going from shop to shop either...

! I'm such a lazy shopper, I stop people in the street (like a proper weirdo) when I see someone wearing a coat I like to ask them where they got it from.

Thanks nailpolish, dont like any of the petite ones and love the covered button swing coat but its a bit out of my price range at £195.00
What about belted ones do you think they would be ok or am i too short for them?

i personally dont wear belted coats, but that doesnt mean there is anything wrong with them

im 5'

the red belted coat on the link is nice

The red one is lovely but im a redhead so generally dont do red unless it is a deep red,the white one is gorgous but wouldn't stay white for long with my 2 dc, i think i will look for the white style in a darker colour and pop into dp to check out the red one.
