Burgundy boyfriend jacket

Something I've learned over the last few years since I've been blogging is that more fitted items are a better silhouette for me than big baggy things. Nevertheless I went through a stage of buying oversized jackets a couple of years ago and they swamp me. Taking photos of myself regularly means I've realised I have a short torso and cropped jackets suit me better. But you know what, sometimes I just want to bum around in a really comfy jacket and not care about 'flattering'. And I'd totally had a big lunch out with my friends on this day, so wearing a big jacket was actually inspired. *laugh-cry emoji*
We took this photos at a place called Manor Barn in Bexhill, which has a ruin of an old manor house, as well as existing buildings and some lovely gardens. Most of the gardens were off limits when we visited as there was a wedding on, but our friends Rach and JP had fun looking for geocache finds in the fireplace of the ruined manor.
Every time I'm out and the sun is out I'm a total photo ho saying 'Where's the liiiight?!'
Sun, come at me! I need the vitamin D!
 I had my hair cut and styled on Saturday, the day these photos were taken.
I'm wearing:

Boyfriend jacket, past season New Look Curves
Mosaic necklace, New Look via ASOS
V neck vest top with cross back, Yours Clothing
Jersey peg leg trousers, ASOS Curve
Pointed shoes, past Matalan similar here

I really rate these shoes from Matalan. They're only £6 and they're SO comfortable. I've had Matalan shoes before with painfully thin soles, but these have a better sole and I wear them a lot. They're not wide fit, so I size up and they fit a charm. This silhouette of jacket isn't the big thing this year (bomber jackets are on fire!) so I suggest looking in the charity shops for oversized men's jackets. Go hog wild! I'd love a Tweed jacket like this.

Do you like fitted jackets or big boxy ones like this?
