Finished - Striped Winter Coat

As someone who has always lived somewhere that has cold winters, I have a special place in my heart for a winter coat. Considering for a large chunk of the year all anyone sees is your coat, I'm a big believer in having a few to wear. It's taken couple of weeks to share but here's a look at my newest coat.

Because I already have a basic black winter coat, I believe my closet would benefit from a more exciting backup coat. What’s more fun than a blanket coat? Snugly and warm, how can it get better? Personally I’m really digging the Stella McCartney at bottom left.

What I Wore - White Coat

I have a couple of things I've been working on that I haven't been able to get up on the blog. In the meantime I've been running around trying to get things done, which for some reason hasn't been working out. Here's just a quick snap of what I wore today. I think it is amazing how much of my closet is made up of things I've thrifted or things I've sewn myself. This one in particular is almost all thrifted.

What I Wore - Red All Over

Sometimes when the weather is cold and dreary I like to dress bright and colourful to make myself happier. 

I decided to go red all over because red is fun and I've worn mostly black the last couple of days.

New In - Plaid Coat

Best part about having super loud jackets? You can wear extremely simple clothes underneath and the whole outfit still ends up fun. 

I found this jacket while thrifting and had to have it. I'm thinking of making it a little fitted but i'm not sure I will. Looking at the jacket and how it's sewed together it's clear that it's meant to be boxy and not fitted so I might just stick with the shape. I took off the belt because I'm in the process of fixing it and making a little change though.
