The wool uptown coat in the Boden sale is lovely. Reduced from £155 to £79 I think. Most sizes left last time I looked.

No, it's gone now, oops.

none of those are warm enough for the weather right now.

Stylelostinlabour · 19/12/2009 20:12

I knew I should of kept my grans sheepskin - I can't find anything at all that is warm, not double breasted and wont add another 2 stone to me that I don't need!

Want to be able to take DS out for walks in buggy and look nice - is that too much to ask!

Like this, but black and ankle length on me

tethersjinglebellend · 19/12/2009 20:33

This one?

purplepeony · 19/12/2009 20:33

I've got the Boden Uptown coat and it is very warm- light, but warm. Think it might be sold out now though

MaggieAnFiaRua · 19/12/2009 20:39

I like that per una one but my daughter has one almost identical... that would be very embarrassing for both of us.

Stylelostinlabour · 20/12/2009 22:17

Per Una one tis white - I have three small children so is a complete no no unless white with snot, choc and other unnameable marks are now acceptable?

Any other ones anywhere?
