It's too big, especially on the arms, and you can see the model has the same issue (I would not, sob). If Land's End want to market to younger, slimmer women, good for them, but they really need to sort out the cut. My ex MiL, who's in her late 50s/early 60s, won't be seen dead in Lands End, partly because she is a slim size 10 and stuff simply doesn't fit. <br /><br />You've styled it brilliantly, and fair play for monetising the blog.SophieMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-50018236958713833572012-11-28T17:25:06.961-08:002012-11-28T17:25:06.961-08:00Hi....love the blue cape.Hi....love the blue cape.BlondPolkaDotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144334737720982697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-70925914042481058092012-11-27T15:45:59.594-08:002012-11-27T15:45:59.594-08:00Pretty much every blog with decent traffic that I ...Pretty much every blog with decent traffic that I read gets free stuff that they write about, ok some might not do it as obvious as this, sometimes a tiny little mention.

You do still look great Kat but not your normal well put together self. I like the jacket style - just think the cut is bad. Would love to see you try boden - have always bought there but recently find it has lost its way.

You normally wear fantastic jackets but this doesn't look right on you. One of the previous comments says that we are only commenting negatively because we know its a sponsored link, and i think they are bang on! There is no way we would want to offend you! Even the models on the website look strange in this jacket! The cape , however, is lovely!

I'm sure as somebody else has mentioned no one would have batted an eye if you had just listed it as a 'Lands End' jacket instead of telling us the story of how you came by it. It made me look at their website as I've never come across this brand before and I guess for Lands End that's what it's all about!! Luckily my 'self imposed shopping ban' will remain in tact as to be fair I'm not so keen on this style of jacket so for once I shan't be charging around the shops stealing your style!Husband is beyond chuffed with you for saving him some money for once!!
