    I would love one this year to wear with thick tights and boots. Anyone seen any nice ones about (especially in grey/slate colours) ??

    Also...do ya have to be a size 10 or less to pull it off? Are chunky girls and chunky knits a hideous combo!? :o

    I can't suggest anywhere that has them but I'd be very wary of them personally if I wasn't a stick insect (which I'm not) tbh. It might just just add too much volume overall especially if you don't have thin enough legs to offer a good contrast.

    They have a really nice one in river island that comes in navy, mustardy yellow, and a dark pink, sadly when i tried it on it was just NOT working on me (I'm a 12/14 btw) but it could have just been my shape as opposed to size!

    I saw grey ones in per una in MArks and Spencers. It was two weeks ago so not sure if they still have them in stock.

    Yeah that was the one that got me thinking that i might like one but then i reconsidered because it was so chunky!!! Really wanted it but feared it would do me no favours!

    Then I came home and started this thread! Since then I popped into Pennys and bought a sleeker knit dress that i tried on with tights, boots, skinny belt and a contrasting long sleeve top under it. Looks ok as a daytime look i guess!

    I got lovely ones in pennys and New Look last year both for under 20, with the New Look opening tomorrow in Jervis you might be able to bag something nice! :)
