I am sorely in need

Am very open to suggestions

jacket could be denim, leather, cord etc, nothing too smart and NOT yummymummyish

Cardi, I'm allergic to wool so v annoying. My fave one is tshirty sort of cotton and very thin but is getting old. Nothing to fussy pls, black would be good

thanks Gurus!

oh size 14 btw

laredoute have some bargain cord jackets but be warned if you have big boobs, you'll need to go a couple of sizes bigger for it to fit - it does look great now I've finally figured out the right size though and isn't baggy anywhere else!

got fab cord hip length jacket today in primark for £10......had nice buttons, and nice cuff detail...

also they had some lovely swing cardis, in dark grey with one large button to fasten at the collar, think they were wool though, but might be worth checking
