Introducing the other half of my oversized coat duo. I
had been on the hunt for a coat in this shape and style for a long time and
finally stumbled across this vintage one around Christmas time last year. Although
after I got it home I did find the lining was torn in a few places, I don’t
notice it on a day-to-day basis and it is to be expected when buying
second-hand. For £25 I'm happy to overlook a little wear and tear.
For someone that tends to play it safe most of the
time in muted colours of black, blue, grey and white, I took myself by surprise
with this pillar-box purchase. Part of me is always a little wary of vintage
shopping, as it often involves making a snap-decision or buying on an impulse
as chances are you won’t see the piece in question again and can’t return it if
you change your mind. This time though it was a no-brainer, the coat ticked all the boxes and I
knew it would definitely work with and brighten up the monochrome madness of my
wardrobe.
One year later I still love it and coincidently it's bang on
trend this season. Big thanks to Phoebe, Jill, Stella and co. for sending oversized checks
down the runway and letting me latch onto the tartan fashionistas that are
gathering en masse.
