Tammy and Boldly, I think it's extra tough if you're still in flux somewhat and you're waiting on the body to settle at a natural weight. From my experience you can get bogged down with getting things you feel you need, very practical and pragmatic but I think you need to throw the rulebook out now and then and go for pieces that are maybe not the most practical or sensible but you absolutely love because they're a certain colour, fit, etc., the pieces that bring a bit of joy back into your wardrobe. You usually end up wearing those to death over the practical and sensible stuff.
@ilovecherries, I have to amend my list, I mistakenly mentioned Dolce Vita from Diorific but that's their orange toned red, you'll want the Marylin. I had a bit of time to waste this afternoon and had a good nose at the counters and Burberry Poppy Red could also be a contender with very nice packaging if you like something a bit contemporary and discreet. I also tried, and fell in love, unfortunately, with L25 from Sisley, it's their pinky/blue based red and it's such a lovely colour. I always forget I shouldn't be trying out Sisley lipsticks, they have a nostalgic smell like my mother's lipsticks, faintly waxy, so my resilience gets weakened immensely. It's still on my lips though after dinner which included soup so it's performing quite well, so I may just have to go get it.
All this talk of pea coats has reminded me, I actually own one! 
From Comptoir even, it's in the 'to sell' pile but it's missing a decorative button so I need to go see if I still saved it somewhere, otherwise, I'll just remove another one and pretend it's a Celine 
. Can't tell the colour at the moment, I thought it was purple-ish but looks more navy now 
but it's a 100% woven thick cotton so much more versatile, from memory it stood up really well in the rain.
