My beloved Jaegar camel, mid length side tie coat, looks like a dressing gown apparently, so I may be tempted to invest in something less granny ish.

I have a gap parker for knocking around in so am after a smart one I can throw on over work clothes and on a rare night out.
TIA

i wouldnt DREAM of saying navy to cod... and dont foresee the occassion arising on which might feel even tempted...
if she tried to bite me i'd hug and kiss her.... then she'd be sorry.

Hideehi · 10/11/2007 22:57
