I shouldn't have tried this coat on today...now I really really want it......

[mrsmaidamess]

but I have stupidly asked for H&M vouchers for Christmas!

Who gets anything nice there? I am coveting this coat like you wouldn't believe.

Agh, sod the devil, I'm getting a new coat!

Good am very excited for you.

buy it!!

Have you got it yet? shops have been open for an hour!!

Reader, I bought it.

It is fabulous coat!

why thank you. I'm sitting next to it as we speak.

That's funny that you said [stroke] as I nearly told you to go and have a coffee afterwards, and sit with your nice posh bag stroking coat and drinking coffee!

I am glad you bought it Maidamess. I was only thinking the other day that I should treat myself more often. When I am an old woman with a hunched back I will wish that I had bought more nice clothes in my 'middle' youth.

I love the coat. Yes, I am thinking about getting one too. What does it look like when not fastened? Is it too swingy?

Jewels, it hangs beautifully when its not done up. This is a big prerequisite for me with a coat, as I'm so boiling hot I rarely do them up.

. It has a lovely shape, and the funnel neck is fab.

Mrsmaidamess - I saw someone in a coat I am sure is this one on the northern Line yesterday evening. Both coat and wearer looked v. lovely. Was it you?

No, twas not me . I was swanning around Kingston in mine....
