Had only seen the odd few pieces in JL before in RL - but usually though ti looked nice online. New store opened near me recently so went to have a look - I was taken aback at the lack of quality. There was a velvet jacket/coat I'd been eyeing up online (a bit similar in style to the Boden ones) and it was nowhere nearly as well made. Cheaper maybe but you could so tell...
And I am after a longish tunic for winter but could not find a single one that wasn't either wool (makes me itch) or made out of horrid synthetic material which I know would bring me out in a hot flush although I'm not menopausal (yet)- what's wrong with cotton jersey??
