Howdy *waves*.... Just a quick outfit post on an outfit I wore a couple weeks back but I didn't get a chance to take pictures. As promised in my last post I did mention I would take pictures of the outfit and do a post. This outfit was inspired by my new coat, which I am totally OBSESSED with at the moment. This is how most of my outfits are put together really. If I want to wear an item ( shoe, coat, dress etc..) I just put an outfit together based on one item. I ordered my coat and when it came I was in love... as in, in loveeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!. I needed an excuse, any excuse to wear it ( we have all been there right ladies??) it can't be just me lol. There have been times I have been gagging to wear something and i'll call my girls and arrange a dinner date just so I can wear whatever it is. Well I didn't buy it to sit pretty in my wardrobe right?. So I needed ( yes needed) to wear my coat and my friend invited me out with her to a ladies event, so no better chance than now. A little back story on my coat. I have had this image of this coat in my head but couldn't find it anywhere, originally I wanted it in a caramel/beige colour but couldn't find it anywhere. Always came across something similar but wasn't what I wanted then I found it on.....wait for it..... ASOS!!!!. Really don't know why I didn't go to my beloved site to begin with. Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now should know I am obsessed with asos. urgh!! its everything. Getting my hands on this coat was no walk in the park believe me. I wasn't the only one who wanted this bad boy but I was so determined ( in a sort of weird, stalkerish way). When I want something I want it. simple. Originally sold out when I was searching for it but I've been in situations with Asos where something is sold out and it comes back in stock within 10 minutes ( when you shop on the site as much as I do, you tend to know these things ya see). I literally sat on the Asos website for about half hour and yep, you guessed it, it came back in stock and in the size I wanted. I got a size 10 just so I can wear it with different looks and wear it with layers. Wearing this coat is like being wrapped in candy floss. literally. I love it.I can literally wear something so bland and throw it on and it comes alive. No such thing as dress down day with this one. The attention I get wearing this coat is actually comedic, I get stop left right and centre while I'm out, everyone loves it. I stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd but my aim is never to blend in. I matched my coat with a pink skirt from river island and a nude top from Asos. Not the biggest fan of river island, I hardly wear anything from there, I find the way their cloths fit terrible, personally. I really wanted a skirt that exact shade of pink so I gave RI a chance and I still wasn't please with the fitting of the skirt.
