Cotton or linen. Not formal. Good with jeans. I know you can help!

(I've looked on Ebay)

In the telegraph last week in an article about how to dress well on a budget, the journo recommended halving the price of the expensive jacket you want by going halves with a friend the same size and taking turns to wear it - honest!!!

Maybe some impoverished mnetter will chip in with you to get one

Gonna have to do in and have a look Cod - which probly means I won't bother - that pic is shite. I can't tell if I like it just by the view of the back. Brilliant marketing strategy or what??

S1ur · 07/03/2008 18:09

bundle · 07/03/2008 18:09

hate word blazer, reminds me of polyester jobbie wtih gilt buttons...

janeite · 07/03/2008 20:05

No answers but I'm watching this thread closely. I went looking for a black one last weekend. I want a very specific style and the only one I found that I liked was in Vivienne Westwood. I didn't even dare try it on but it was so perfect; I keep dreaming of it!

pointydog · 07/03/2008 20:08

Is the word blazer really acceptable in fashion again? I'd call those things jackets.

monkeytrousers · 07/03/2008 20:36

It's just more accurate for web searching purposes.

this is kind of it, but I want a longer line and either a brown or dark green I think

this length and style but not denim or striped

OP posts:
monkeytrousers · 07/03/2008 20:38

something just a bit off about this cut, don't you think?

OP posts:
monkeytrousers · 07/03/2008 20:42

OP posts:
monkeytrousers · 07/03/2008 20:57

Checking in MT.

Can't help re m&s sizes, but I would have thought that ineeds to fit around your waist a bit.

Right if you've got a tape measure handy...

Size: 16-18 (Large)
Bust (cm) 97-106
Waist (cm) 80-89
Hips (cm) 105-114

monkeytrousers · 07/03/2008 21:22
