The elderly Barbour that I picked up in Oxfam some years ago for £10 finally became too scruffy (and no longer waterproof) for me to wear, so I was in need of a new waterproof winter coat.
My first thought was to splash out on a brand new coat - but then I saw the prices in Rohan, and the vintage coats in Bain & Murrin suddenly became a lot more affordable!
So now I am the proud possessor of an Austin Reed waxed jacket, from the men's rack, for just under £100. It'll last me for years, though, and it even has a hood hidden underneath the collar.
And while I was there I spotted a pair of blue Converse canvas shoes, with white paint splashes as decoration - they go very well with my denim skirt.
