I’ve just lost 45lbs and am updating my wardrobe. I’m still a 16/18 but feel comfortable at this size for a while whilst I adjust. I’d like to update my smart (ish) wear and am looking for a light, non traditional jacket to go with this Dress from Toast. Any ideas for £100-£200?

Palava workwear jackets. Slightly over your budget but you'd get 10% off for first purchase.

Or not a jacket but a linen coat dress worn as a coat? It's over budget but I have one in navy and get so much wear out of it.
