Hi MNers,
Have been pondering where I could buy a lovely winter coat, and suddenly realised I could do my first MN post and ask for some advice on here.
I am looking for a lovely coat. It doesn't have to be too warm (I live in London, and am - ahem - a bit too well padded). By preference I don't want a black coat, as black coats make me feel like I'm back at school. I am thinking perhaps grey, or brown, or even dark purple or dark teal, or perhaps a pattern if it was subtle enough to go with most stuff?
I'm around a size 16 - 18, with really big boobs, and I'm after something with a waist that will give me some shape and not make me look like a pudding. I tried one from Boden, but it was a funny colour of brown, and the material was a bit knobbly...
What I really want is a coat that will make me look like Kirstie Allsop from the neck down, rather than looking like Mr Blobby. Surely such a thing exists?
Would be so grateful for any help or tips anyone can give. I am an inveterate internet shopper, but am based in London so could make it out to most chains if the perfect coat is only available on the high street and not online.
Thanks in advance,
Ms P
