How to wear The Red Coat

Another piece of clothing I rescued from my "throwaway pile", I bought this coat from primark many years ago. I think it was only £23 pounds which along with the vibrant colour-was probably the driving force to making the purchase. I love how sturdy the buttons are, and I loooove the frills as they make the coat very girly!

Admittedly I haven't worn it as much as I should have over the years (hence it being in the out pile in the first place)
As much as I do love the colour red, especially over the past few years...I do have a difficult time styling it. Red can be a possesive colour, and I find that as it is a coat...it can instantly take away the attention from the rest of the outfit. So on this occasion, I decided to wear it with an equally vibrant pair of skinny jeans. I think these two primary colours worked well together.

And how cute is the blouse?! From the moment I first saw it in Matalan, I knew I had to have it! Although at £12 I held off from buying it for a while, hoping it would go down in the sale. However it's still full price....so I couldn't let it slip through my fingers. I am obsessed with love hearts generally, so this was made for someone like me!

And I couldn't resist picking up this belt I found on a consignment store website for a fraction of the original price! It is a great belt for wearing over coats or with dresses and blouses. This size was discontinued, and I think it was around £450 when it was available-so I was lucky to find it :-)

I can honestly say this was the first time I have been photobombed by a policeman! Lol!....

On the evening these pics were taken, it was freezing cold here in London! (what's new? lol) In fact an hour before we were treated with a freak hailstorm out of nowhere....needless to say I wanted to head straight on the bus home-but I was eventually talked into going ahead with it!

The weather seems to be warming up in London (slightly) so I have started to wear more jackets recently and lighter scarves.

And I have recently come back from Sicily, so look out for some holiday looks coming up soon :-)
