Impossible jacket hunt...

Help! I need to find a blazer/jacket or skirt suit for a 12 yr old girl. Has to be a brightish colour, preferably tweed or wool (nothing cheap looking). She just about fits a size 6 petite, but she is only 5ft, so normal sizes drown her. Budget is up to £70 absolute max.
Something like this would be absolutely perfect (obvs in her size...):

Oh, and second hand would be absolutely fine - although I've trawled ebay...

Might not be bright enough, but smart and in budget

Thanks Never - nearly there...
The sequin one is a bit too evening, and she can't have white (it's for handling dogs, and the dog is white!). White one is great though, apart from the colour...

X-posted!
Thanks for all suggestions. Longer line jackets don't work so well - they tend to flap when she is running. Next one is perfect, except they don't do the lovely rust colour in petite (boo). And the cord ones are lovely, but not quite smart enough...
