Oooh have always wanted a linen jacket. Will def. look in H&M next time in Bromley. And with the hair, swizz, I've decided to go 2 inches shorter, bit more layered, and brighten up the colour a bit. Little touch of chestnut I think.
Now, Jackie, if you are there. Today I went clothes shopping. I took 4 skirts into the changing room (thinking never in a million years) - they all fit, and 2 of them looked quite nice. So I bought them! One's a white and black leaf print, one is purple broderie anglaise but quite thick and layered. They are both just below knee length and a-line but, honestly, I was gob smacked, they look fine.
Then I found a long ribbed cardigan with big buttons and 3/4 length sleeves. Tried it on and got all distressed because it was so much too small. Not until I took it off the hanger did I realise it was a 12 on a 14 hanger. But luckily they did have a 14 so I bought that too!
Thank you for your advice. I honestly never would have thought of skirts without you .
