Dislike the coat but I am very at being small enough to fit a child's coat.

shootRudolphinthehip · 09/12/2008 14:42

I like it

cheeseandsproutssarnie · 09/12/2008 14:51

thanks rudolph!

obviously this is bad thing about being small enough and im sure can only get worse!

Oh, it's horrible.
Looks like it's a Bratz outfit.
Be thankful.

I go on about m & S limited collection all the time, but still, have a look at their faux fur jacket. It's expensive, but 30% off at mo. and I'm sure will come down.

Similar but diff.

Failing that, you'll have to do what haute couture buyers do and arrange to never wear them at the same time in the same place.

chewbacca

DeckHallsWithFIMBOughsofHolly · 09/12/2008 14:55

It is good to be small enough - my friend is like you and has picked up many a bargain in Gap kids for herself x 2

DeckHallsWithFIMBOughsofHolly · 09/12/2008 14:57

Sorry to hijack thread

But on dear god, have just looked at the M & S list what is that gilet thing all about?

£5 in the Christmas sale methinks.

It's dreadful.

zenandtheartofbaking · 09/12/2008 15:29

Yep - the limited collection is indeed sometimes ... interesting. But then I find per una utterly incomprehensible. It's like a foreign language to me - obviously makes sense to its community but it's all just noise if you don't have the key.

cheesesprout - don't look at the gilet, look at the faux fur jacket.

DeckHallsWithFIMBOughsofHolly · 09/12/2008 15:50

Zena are you from Norwich?

NowICanSpellGeansaiNollaig · 09/12/2008 15:59

funny, nice enough coat but I think I would be tempted to leave out a saucer of milk for it!

cheeseandsproutssarnie · 10/12/2008 12:36

Could be worse

years ago my sister (then about 16) saved all her Christmas cash, went into Next and bought a really lovely purple coat with a black velvet collar

The next day on Eastenders Dot Cotton was wearing the same one

Se has never worn since, thouh I noticed Mum now (more than a decade on) wears it

cheeseandsproutssarnie · 10/12/2008 12:53

.well we have a morris like dots.maybe i could borrow jacket lol !
