I was going to try and muddle through with my pre pregnancy coat, its about a size too small and all but 1 of the buttons popped off when I was pregnant! But I'm hoping to lose the weight again next year when I stop bfing so didnt want to have to buy a new one.

However I have just got myself a job as school lunchtime supervisor (dinner lady!) so think really I need something warm that fits now. And I need something waterproof as well really. But I dont want anything too boringly practical iyswim.

I'm size 16-18 depending on how its cut, have been having a bit of trouble squeezing my boobs into some things lately

Pleeeease help all you wondefully clever, stylish ladies!!

TIA

Oh dear Peshacake, we have been here before and how! Warm, waterproof AND stylish - it ain't rocket science is it, but it is amazing how hard it is to find something that fits the bill.
I have this in turquoise, and have had lots and lots of admiring comments, but although it IS waterproof, it is not amazingly warm (you need to get the bigger size and wear an extra layer on really cold days).

Ooo I do like that Rosa but its abit too expensive.

Anything similar anywhere but about half the price?!

pesha I have same coat as rosa and again have had lots of compliments the boden sale will be just before/after xmas so if you can wait it might be worth it

Hmm could possibly wait I suppose, not actually sure when I'm starting job anyway. I think we're waiting on crb checks at the moment but it was advertised as needing someone asap when they started back after the summer hols!

So is that the only stylish warm waterproof coat then?!
