Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I cut the tags on this pair and pulled the trigger on the same size in green, which arrive next week. I have a feeling I am well on the way to a fully functional wardrobe again!
rachylou: that is the saddest thing I have ever heard. Why in the world would you, Queen of the Puffy, have no call for a quilted vest?
Bijou, thanks! As everyone knows here on YLF, it takes a lot of effort to make it look this effortless. My friends all hate it when I say that.
Jonesy, I am pretty sold on that vest. I have an old one here that no longer fits and Uniqlo now take part exchange.
JAileen: Yes! Wardrobe did a brilliant job on that show. It felt very authentic. My favorite Keeley Hawes moment is as Lindsay Denton in Line of Duty. A stunning performance.
