The coat has arrived, it is more purple than pink and I don't know if it shrunk in the wash, or it is my new desk job, but there is NO chance that I can do it up (and it is M & S size 8 which is usually quite generous).
Here is the Jil Sander one that I love....
And this is the ebay jacket with the collar removed and some bits that I picked up at the sample sale (on again next Thursday 6th March at the Music Rooms on South Molton Lane from 10am until 10pm)
Tabitha Simmons dress, 50 quid (was £495)
Day Birger Mikkelsen silk dress, £30 was £325
Is it worth the effort? I have a feeling that I will always hanker after the real thing. Are you influenced by looks that you like or do you bite the bullet and if you love them, spend the money?
