The Joy of Charity Shops: Marks and Spencer nautical-style jacket

I like to torment my boyfriend with the immortal words "Give me five minutes" whenever we pass a charity shop. He rolls his eyes, and says "I'll be outside/over there reading my Econimist/at the bus stop" and I run in a little wild eyed looking for the amazing bounty that I'm convinced lies undiscovered.



This weekend, I said my line (The Boy opted for waiting at the bus stop), and found this beauty; a very 1980's looking black boxy nautical jacket from Mark and Spencer. It's a bit Lady Di, but I can live with that. It's 100% wool, in amazing condition and sporting some lovely brass buttons. I'm thinking of a skinny jeans and jacket combo, or with my tiered mini skirt, or over a cute jumper dress....all these possiblities, and priced at the £6. Bargainous.
