ISO gray sweater or coat for family pics

[acmom]

I'm looking for a gray longish sweater or coat for outdoor family pics in Nov. to wear with a plum plaid scarf, skinny jeans, and tall boots. (DD is wearing a plum peacoat and DH and DS will be wearing black or gray sweaters or coats with jeans.) I'm 5'2" and usually wear an XS and I would like to spend under $200. Any ideas?

That looks like a great option, but I don't see gray. But maybe that "birch" (black and white fleck pattern) would be close enough.

Look at Athleta. I bet they have something.

There are a few things at Boden and with the 20% off FS/FR code that expires tomorrow (REVS) they are close to your budget:
Both of these in "Charcoal"

I have this in cream and I LOVE it. It is in heavy rotation here so far this fall. I wear it with distressed skinny/boyfriend jeans and my burgundy skinny cords. It is so versatile.

I recently got a similar one from a crazy 6pm deal. I'm barely 5', so a little shorter, and definitely not an xs, but the arms were so long and it looked awkward - it didn't really hit me in the right spots. I sold it to friend who's maybe 5'6" or 5'8" and it looked so much better on her.

Thanks for this info - might not work for me for the same reason!

Thanks for this recommendation...is it longer IRL than the picture? Is it clingy at the hips at all?

FYI - If you're considering this sweater it's now 40% off, so $28.80. ETA: Just bought one in cream. Enablers. ;)
