to go with a knee-length (a-line-ish) skirt

will need to be smart (for henley regatta)

skirt taupe so jacket can be neutral (with colourful accessories) or a colour that would jazz it up a bit

would this look terrific or awful on a tummy?

Tutter · 27/05/2008 14:00

awful

Coast have quite a few shortsleeved jackets
very mother-of-the-bride

honestly, I think people overdress at Henley - it's not a wedding or a cocktail party
men do not wear morning suits

MrsBadger · 27/05/2008 14:02

good shape, good price
shame tis black

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 14:42

coast very bright not sure about shape

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 14:42

jacket/bolero

MrsBadger · 27/05/2008 15:03

bolero will leave tummy exposed

yellow M&S jacket could look v good with striped skirt

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 15:13

Had not looked at the yellow, it does look a lot better in yellow than the other colours and would match the stripes

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 15:21

coral from principles

JackieNo · 27/05/2008 15:21

It's a bit mother of the bride, but I love this shape. Not sure the colour would work, though they have it in black too.

JackieNo · 27/05/2008 15:21

X-ost TSAP.

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 15:28

top shop linen option but am not sure of linen with your skirts.

JackieNo · 27/05/2008 15:36

Dunno - you'd have to see it in the flesh.

JackieNo · 27/05/2008 15:39

Tie front?.

twinsetandpearls · 27/05/2008 15:43

JackieNo there are only so many short sleeved jackets!

Tutter · 27/05/2008 16:47
