I haven't worn The Coat in a long time:
But first: I have purple legs. I got new purple tights and they are very grape-y. They go perfectly, in fact with this very grape-y velvet skirt that I got at Dots last week.But I'm so distracted by The Coat!
It was very crisp and cold this morning, and I didn't wear any other outerwear. Most of The Coat is wool, and it's very thickly lined. I had my fur scarf and my long leather gloves and I was quite good.I just kept the underneath layers simple with the emerald silk top:
And there's the purple pencil skirt (and Vizzini's head).Here's the outfit without The Coat. The only time I took it off was to give blood.
Unfortunately, the skirt isn't lined (it's a cotton blend) and it ended up riding up on me - it's the dreaded Tight Creep. Next time I'll wear a slip.The stuff:
You can go here for more pictures of The Coat. Hee, my cost per wear is down to $163.00. But now that the weather's cooler, I'll be wearing it more!Coat (Desigual), blouse (Jacob, consignment), skirt (Cappopera), tights (Hue), boots (Gabor), chain (Grandma J's).
Gorgeous coat! And the green cowl top is so pretty with suede.

ReplyDeleteI love the jewel tones here and the coat is amazing!! These colors are perfect for you...and I am so impressed that you got blogging done with that schedule!
ReplyDeleteOver a year ago when I stumbled onto your blog, I saw and learned a lot. You were the first person to show me how attractive and creative colored tights can be. You integrate them into outfits so effortlessly and seamlessly that they enhance the whole without drawing excessive attention to themselves. Love the grapes!
