My Chloe coat & Dionne dress-OOTD

The Winter Coat

There is a chill in the air, dark nights, the never ending Christmas CD that they have been playing since about 1990. Time to wrap up. I am not really one for dark colours, so this pretty pastel pink Chloe Coat is my type of coat. It is not really an ideal colour for a mum with small children, but it is surprisingly "dirt proof". The blended wool mix, make it reasonably difficult to mess up.

I am not a massive fan of winter. I don't like going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark. I hate being cold and I dislike being restricted to the indoors. However, I do enjoy buying a new coat every season (or two) and varying my colours.

My coat cupboard

As you can see I have one or two coats. I just love buying them. What better way to "make" an outfit than with a great coat? I do have classic black coats, but I enjoy making a statement with a real splash of colour. Why be dull?

The Winter Dress

The Dionne Dress

I have had alot of wear from this "easy to chuck on" skater dress. It just seems ideal for pretty much any occasion. It is a favourite for work for me, but It's perfect for a night out with heels or dressed down with chunky boots. The wine colour gives it a real wintry/Christmas feel.

More pictures than text today, sorry feeling very hired and my head isn't working as quickly as it should. We had our Christmas work party last night. One too many me thinks.
