Spring clothes help please

[janeite]

I am looking for two things and failing dismally. Could any of you lovely people please help me to find:
a) a Spring coat - single breasted, mid thigh in a bright colour?
b) some leather ballet flats in purple, pink or silver, with a Mary Jane strap?

Thank you! I don't shop in Primark or Peacocks, I am only 5'2 and budget is pretty miniscule.

Thanks!

Non? Where are all the non-DrWho-watching-fashion-folk then?!

Here! Not a Doctor fan! Where have you already looked, and when you say budget is small, how much are you looking to pay for each item?

Shoes - up to about 30 pounds.

Coat - no more than 50 if at all possible.

Have looked in H&M - rubbish; M&S - they had quite a cute apple green one but even the size 10 was huge on me and they didn't have an 8; Gap - nothing. For shoes have looked in Clarks and New Look so far.

Try Top Shop for shoes and Dorothy Perkins for the coat - they always have a bright colour palette.

Have you looked on shopstyle.co.uk?

Sorry - I did look in Dotty P's - nowt in there!

this comes in size 8 £45 and this one loads really

Thanks. The first on is v similar to the one I tried on and sort of what I'm looking for, though would prefer a lower neck. Need to be able to try it in store really, as in M&S I can be anything from a size 8 to a size 14 - tis weird.

Should have said - I am very short waisted so can't do belts!

Ooohhh, very excited! I think I've found a lovely coat on ASOS - bright coral / red, single breasted, with an unusual bow detail on the back - reduced from £65 to £45!! Take a look and let me know what you think. They also have some leather ballet flats in a light purple (well, more like lilac), however they don't have a mary jane type strap - just normal ballet flats - they are in the clearance section too.

Thanks Tiger. really need to be able to try on in-store though, rather than ordering on t'internet.

Schuh are quite good for brightly coloured pumps and mary-janes.

I think you can return things for free though on ASOS. Check out the Office website for shoes - just saw some very cute flat mary janes - they're bright pink with a black bow - reduced to £15 - I know not quite what you were after, but cute all the same!

Ooh - had forgotten about Office. Thank you!

clarks do leather mary janes in black, purple, grey (I think) and black patent. I have a pair, very comfy

hang on I'll find them

purple but looks like blue

black patent

black leather

Thanks. Too much money though! No point me paying a lot for shoes as I only wear them to get from A to B then take them off as soon as I can get away with it!

hehe- Janeite- I was going to suggets the green M&S one.... bah!

Yes the green one would have been great if it wasn't as huge - and if it was purple! It's really cute but for somebody who usually waers black, the green is quite scary!

wears

bit over budget

Thanks Jambutty. Can't do belts though as I look like a sack of potatoes.
