I think it looks rather good!

When I was pregnant for the first time, I knew a woman whose solution to maternity wear was to wear her husband's clothes, and she looked permanently charming - this petite little woman skipping about in slouchy, oversized cricketing sweaters and jeans for nine months. 

I envied her, because I was stuck in hideous Mothercare stretch navy trousers and even when I was not pregnant there was nothing in G's wardrobe that I could steal borrow.  G is about the same height as me but with a slimmer, male figure and a love for fitted clothes.  None of his sweaters are slouchy even on him.

But today I made a very exciting discovery.  His best winter coat, which is ridiculously warm and cosy because it is made from organic goosefeather or something, not only fits me perfectly but also looks rather good!

I've stolen his coat!

And it's blooming cold here again, so I'm pleased I made this discovery.  Now I've just got to persuade G not to wear it himself.  And unfortunately I might have a battle on my hands with that, because he does love a good, warm coat and has even been known to wear this one in June ...

    I steal all my husband's fleeces. I cannot stand the feel of a fleece that fits me!

    looking good Missis, really suits you. I have a goosedown gilet that is amazingly snuggly and warm, I live in it when it's cold outside. I like your hat too!

    Gah. Thin husbands. I hate them. All you can borrow is their bl**dy gloves.

    Oh yes, I borrowed my husband's jeans when I was pregnant and have also been known to borrow jumpers, socks and coats too! (He gets very cross about it, bless him!)

    I borrowed J's fave jumper, and spilt bleach on it. many years ago. I have still not been forgiven. so just be careful with the fave coat, which does look great btw, yes it's freezing again isn't it!

    My other half's like a whippet. No swapsies at all at my place.
    You look great in that coat.
