I saw this jacket in a little independant store while shopping in Plymouth yesterday, for £30.
I'm really tempted to go back on sunday and buy it, but I'm not sure what to wear it with..
I'm 16, doing my first year of A Levels, so I'm not really into the whole sophisticated-lady-pencil-skirt scene.. kinda dress a bit 'indie/h&m'ish though. My winter wardrobe is mainly cream, grey or striped.. so pfft. Would I need to buy a load more clothes to go with it?

Opinions please :)

    I was thinking of buying some black straight legged jeans to go with it (they'd go with most of my wardrobe tbh). I bought some fantastic fitting dark-blue New Look jeans yesterday, with gold stitching, that might look nice.

    Kinda feel like I need to start dressing a bit smarter/maturely if I'm gonna be wearing houndstooth.

    i think it`d look equally nice with jeans as with a pencil skirt, so u wont need to buy any new bottoms, i would reccomend new tops tho, black, white, mustard and jade work well with houndstooth

    I think it's vile.

    You could get something from Primark 4390 times nicer.

    Haven't seen the one in Primark..
    There was a grey tweed version of this coat aswell.. might try that.

    I tend to stay away from long coats, they seem to make me look even shorter. Thats what attracted me to this bomber thingy ;/

    doesn't look like it's gonna keep you very warm.

    Sometimes that just isn't the point though, is it ;)

    I got a shorter Dogtooth coat from Dorothy Perkins, think how that one you like will keep your belly warm in the snow :p

    If that's the one I'm thinking of it's lovely and is much nicer than the one posted in here.

    Well I went to try it again today and I didn't get it.. it actually looked pretty smart on but I felt a bit awkward in that print.
    So I'm on the lookout for another jacket now.
