Things I want/need please. Does anybody fancy virtual shopping for me?

[janeite]

Must be available in a real life shop, not just online.

Must be suitable for a short arse with big norks. Thank you!

Item One - a new black cardigan / v neck / waist length / decent quality but less than 40 squid ideally.

Item Two - something to wear with a pencil skirt for work which will make me look smart but still be comfortable - and not sweat-inducing.

Item Three - comfortable shoes for work - black or grey for my teeny tiny narrow feet. Mayhap a small heel.

Item Four - a silk scarf to wear with jeans and a t-shirt.

Item Five - a jacket that can be worn for work, or casually with jeans.

Thank you to anybody who has managed to trawl through that lot and still have some energy left to reply!

Just saw it and thought you must have meant that one. It's yummy.

Item 3

Too pricey?

Plain but lovely colour

Slightly weird?

Item 1- Gap and Muji have merino black v-neck cardigans in atm.

Did you know we have a cos now?

Mmmm not fond of any of those scarves. Am being too fussy now, aren't I? Sorry. As cheap as poss - may look in TK Maxx - shudder.

Captain Nancy - will look in Gap (usually do!) and never would have thought of Muji, so thank you for that.

Have been in Cos a couple of times - lots of lovely things but totally not cut for the likes of us!

Oh have just realised I was forgetting that things had to be available in real shops, sorry

Don't apologise - you're being a huge help!

Back to tops bit too pricey for the fabric?

Possibly too sexy for school?

For your scarf Janeite not silk but not polyester either...

Still chuckling over your comment on NC's thread...

Sorry I didn't realise I hadn't done the joules links properly. If they are too wishywashy what about this

I love your "Can anyone find Janeite a...." threads btw as you always have incredibly fussy exacting requirements but you have the nicest manners on mn (imo) as you always thank everybody so nicely and so politely for looking

Scarf is cute, Suggy - but too pale for me think. A better price than Paul Smith though!

NorkilyChallenged - blimey - am not sure what Yr 11 would make of that one!

But I am a sucker for broidery anglaise and have no idea about jacket shapes for those lucky enough to have bazuckers...

and again

this is a cute jacket

Esher Mummy - why THANK you. I am v fussy - sorry.

I am v good at picturing things precisely in my head, then getting cross when I can't find them.

Love Mint Velvet (in fact, bought a top there today) but that scarf is a bit scary, I think. I really like the abstract grey one on there though.

Ooh I like that DP jacket - haven't been in DP for years, except for dd1.

I wondered where Mint Velvet had come from see here all ex Principles board I guess second time lucky.

Janeite I never go in either but whenever I go out with young folks in nice gear its always from Dotty P...

It's nicer than Principles was, on the whole. Some of it seems quite Whistles inspired. Unfortunately, unlike Principles, it doesn't do petite.

maybe as it takes off it will start doing petite. Really need to walk away from the laptop and do some jobs. Good luck with your quest. Do none of the colour combos on the kew scarf work ? I thought they were gorgeous... Sometimes MN is just vicarious shopping !

They ARE gorgeous colours - but would make my face fade away to nothing, unfortunately. Thanks for your help.
