Sassy Red Coat

Hello to my fellow fashionistas,

 I hope you're enjoying my two latest blog posts as I am loving blogging again. It has brought out this light in me that I haven't seen for a few years while being away from home and my lovely photographer my mum. I was going to give a go at styling some Valentines themed outfits for you but unfortunately, after months of dodging ever flu going I have finally come down with something. So alas I may have to post some date night outfits after Valentines.

So this coat I ummed and could not decide whether to keep it or not just because of how bright it was and it is a tiny bit big. However the sass literally oozes out of me when I am wearing it, I love that it's a true red colour and I may have had a slight obsession with PVC... like we all did right. I waited months for this coat to come down in price and when it finally was in the ASOS sale I went to buy it but they had no size eights so I took a gamble after wanting it for so long and went for the size ten. I don't regret ordering the size ten as I LOVE this coat more than life. However, it is a tad big around the waist and I have to fully pull the belt into an inch of my life to cinch my waist in.

Who would have thought that I could turn a sassy coat into an extravagantly saucy outfit by pairing it with an equally as overbold flared trousers and matching bell sleeved jumper?  The trousers were a Christmas present as was the jumper, The jumper is cropped but it's perfect for wearing with anything high waisted. The trousers were definitely a bit out there for me, but I thought if you can't blog an outfit that can be seen from out of space then when can you? I will try to find all the links for the items but I know the t-shirt I wore was a Missguided sale purchase.  

Here is some 70's inspiration which is where I got inspiration for this outfit, bell sleeves, flared trousers and leather coats.

Anyway on to the outfit deets!

So being a string bean, a tall lanky thing I find it so hard to find trousers that don't look like ankle swingers! HOWEVER alas I have found that these trousers and pretty little thing have flared trousers that always fit me perfectly in the length. I am 5 ft 10 and a half and most my length is my long legs so you can see the problem I have.

Winter Wish List

My Winter Wishlist 

Today's post will be a wish list of winter warmers that I have grown to love over the past month. Side note... I am sorry for neglecting you guys I have just had a lot on with graduating from University and getting used to being in full time employment. I hope you like the items I have picked because if I had the money I would buy it all ! But unfortunately I haven't won the lottery.

1. So I am a little ( a lot ) obsessed with Vinyl and when I saw this Vinyl trench coat in Miss Selfridge I fell head over heels in LOVE with it! It's a tad pricey but I know today you can get 50% off the black Vinly coat which makes it an affordable £29.50! However if you LOVE the red like I do then you can only get 30% off which makes it £41.30 which is a bit of a saving but not as much as the black. However if I was to get one it would 100% be the red... My parents would say I had an expensive taste but I really just think the red is such a bold colour and as I have black/grey hair the black Vinyl might make me look even more pale.. if that's possible.

2. I don't know about you guys but I am obsessed with the frilled hem ankle grazer trousers, I currently own a black pair and a yellow tartan pair but these blue tartan ones are perfect for anyone who doesn't want to brave the black and yellow ones. The dark green, red and blue tartan ones will be easier to style whether your looking for a casual outfit or a night out these are perfect for all occasions.

3. SHOCK leather again... I think I am with everyone when I say leather is back with a kick and these leather look coated high waist jeans are the perfect way to transition from your normal black jeans.

4. Last but not least these leather ( yep I told you I am obsessed ) over the knee flat boots from Missguided. These aren't on my wish list anymore as I actually purchased them and can vouch for them. I have thin thighs so even though I love the over the knee boots trend most the boots I have tried on are too big and look silly or two fall down. However because of the stiffness of these boots and the little tie at the back ALLAS I have found over the knee flat boots that flatter my legs.

So that's my first winter wish list but don't worry this won't be a one post every couple of months thing. I will actually be creating new content every Thursday and Friday as I get those days off. 

Comment below any blog posts you would like to see .. I will be doing a makeup haul next as I have accumulated quite a few makeup products that are very seasonal and products I think you guys would love.
