Okay, I am going to apologize in advance ~ this outfit post is huge. The main reason for that being that I actually took photos of my jacket look and the dress underneath. Because I felt that both looks deserved equal attention, we have a really looong post I am afraid…. >>’
I wanted to get a lot of the details of my jacket because this is without a doubt my most favourite winter coat, maybe my favourite winter wardrobe item full stop! The reason for that is that it is just so me. I brought this jacket in Camden {London}, because when I saw it I could not take my eyes off it. It was beautiful, it was lacy and so perfectly me.
And when I tried it on, it slipped on like it was made for me….. *happy sigh* It makes me smile just thinking about it. Of course, they wanted a lot for it ~ it is a beautifully tailored jacket; I have never brought high end clothing, but this coat feels so high end to me. I do not recognise the brand though, Vila Clothes, so I do not know where the jacket came from. I was just so glad I could bargain the sellers down from 90 pounds to 70!!
It is without a doubt a ‘perfect purchase’. You know, the ones you look at it and know that you will wear until the day you or it dies, and if you walk way you WILL regret it forever.
So, without further ado ~ Outfit Ten. So Me!
I love the lacy detail of this coat!! But now for the rest of the outfit. You have already seen this dress, but I thought I would do a remix. So here it is styled with different items. The problem is it is not really a different styling as I still used the underskirt/cardigan/broach turned into a two fingered ring trick. So it’s a sort of remix. ><
Accessories ~ Beanie {JayJays} Collar {b dot depictions}
Ring & Broach made into ring {Italy}
Dress ~ SES Cardigan ~ Can not remember… It’s old though. Skirt ~ SES
Shoes ~ Hong Kong {the Ladies Markets}
Yes, my crochet collar has made another appearance. I have worn it a lot this week. I really like the touch of difference it adds to my outfits. I have also found that the crochet stitches have stretched a little and so it sits much better around my neck now. :3
And yes, I was cold taking these photos at 5:30pm without nylons or tights on! The things we fashionistas subject our bodies too…..

Yeh, I want to go back to London to see more theatre and go shopping again in Camden!!
ReplyDeleteI love that grey coat. Beautiful. I agree that when I read blogs on the other hemisphere I wish it were that season. It is so warm here. I am ready for some fall weather.

And I just want summer to come... ><
ReplyDeleteComplete in love with the ring! And the dress and skirt..gorgeous!
ReplyDelete@Stephanie ~ the ring is just a broach pinned onto a plain silver band. ^^ It's so easy and doubles the wear of one item which I just love to do.
