Today was an odd Monday. I felt like a pirate all day, yar!

| I've got my ruffles, my frock coat and my boots! Avast, me hearties! |
There are a few things in my closet that I won't be putting out for a vote because they are completely awesome, and this frock coat is one of them. I got it at Dots as a sample piece for $56.00 (regular $375.00). It's by Noa Noa and is 100% cotton.
I've had it since spring 2010, but I didn't wear it until Hallowe'en 2010 (check out my contest-winning Mad Hatter costume). Yes, it is a bit costume-y but I've worked it a few times for work, here in March 2011, and here in November 2011 (where I actually converted it into a steampunk type of outfit). I also wore it just before the 2012/13 Capsule Challenge started, in January 2012. The last time was for the Steampunk Convention in April 2012, in the favourite Wild Card outfit.
But hey! There's the burgundy skirt again!

I LOVE the frock coat...I'd love to have one of those myself! And it works beautifully with the burgundy skirt.

Yes - the frock coat is a forever YES! Love this look, with the shorter boots and suede skirt. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteAwesome jacket! Sometimes even difficult to style pieces are worth hanging onto. Quality and uniqueness is worth it. I vote for keeping everything here! It's all very you.

ReplyDeleteI misread and thought it was "gutsy pirate" - who's she been sparring with, I thought?!
ReplyDeleteWind is easier to deal with than a fight, so that's good! The jacket is fabulous, especially that delicious embroidery at the back. I agree with Megan, it's good to have those amazing unique pieces which can be brought out to give an outfit the wow factor. xxx
You always manage to reference period without looking costumey. That's one hell of a working personal style, Sheila. Has to be your personal confidence. Or the fact that you have excellent taste and an eye for quality. Whatever ... looking fierce, young lady!
