Just stumbled across this Oh-so Jackie O coat at Boden.
Perfect for athletic / less curvy girls, but apple and pear-shapes can also wear this well, so long as They want to show off their pins. The length makes it really realistic and chic for just about every height too, although petite girls will need to shorten the sleeves - a simple enough job for your local alterations place - even repositioning the trim looks like it would be straightforward.
Wear this with a similar-shaped and length dress or skirt to style-up a work look or add panache to a wedding outfit (I'd advise the aqua) - it won't sit well over fullness in the skirt or a long hemline. Alternatively show off your legs with cigarette-cut trousers or capris. Gorgeous and classic - you'll wear it for years, so the £110 price tag seems fair.

Wow! I've just come across your blog and I LOVE it !!!
ReplyDeleteYou have taken all the hard work out of finding something decent to wear as I haven't had time recently to go on fun shopping sprees.
I have bought a light blue shift dress for a wedding I'm going to soon and I am going to get this coat to go with it.
Thank you
