We’ve found the perfect coat, and it’s from Primark
Yes, really
Yes, really
Don't get me wrong, I love a gorgeous designer coat, and a Max Mara camel coat has been on my wish list for quite a while, but sometimes you just can't beat a good bargain.
It might not be quite the same quality, but I've found a great coat at Primark, and it's only £25. You can't argue with that now can you?
The coat is quite classic in its shape, but with an on-trend pink check that will easily upgrade your look for autumn.
In fact, quite a few of us in the office have our eye on it, we just wish you could shop it online - however it's worth the in-store visit in my opinion.
You can do the tonal thing and wear it with pink corduroy trousers and a matching oversized knit, and finish it off with a pair of tab faux snake print ankle boots.
Plus, you'll still have money leftover for Christmas presents.
