There's no denying it. It's official. We are fully IN Coat Weather now. Shivers are in the air and Christmas stuff is already hitting the shelves. Autumn/Winter is here.
It's no longer enough to wear just a jacket outside - my blazer, cardigan, shirt combo will no longer cut it. Without a coat, I quiver like a shaken jelly once the sun goes down. And that my friends, is naht a good look.
And enter the results of my coat searching. This lovely blue/grey oversize coat from Zara. HIYA.
Winter Coat: Zara £85
Slim Black Trousers: Zara £39.99
Leather Heeled Boots: H&M last year £59.99
Jumper: Uniqlo Mens £14.90
Necklace: Swarovski *gift

Given that I've spent the past couple of weeks grasping onto the last of summer, I thought it was only sensible that I get a proper winter coat. You know the kind - thick, warm, heavy and comforting. A sensible coat for the winter weather.
And in a classic colour too, so that it can be worn every year. I've got an electric blue coat which I loved to pieces last year, but I'm all for casual, non-committal coat relationships and have gotten a bit bored of now. Soz blue coat. It now lives in the cupboard in the hall, crying for attention every time I get the hoover out. (which incidentally, is very rare.)
So I spent the past few weeks going from shop to shop looking for 'the perfect coat'. It's surprisingly really easy to shop when you only need one thing - this MUST be how men feel!?!

What I Wore To Work: 50 Shades of Grey with my oversize Zara coat
Mmmm. I love Mint Green as a colour. It reminds me of mint choc chip (undeniably the best flavour of ice cream) and sunny, happy days.
Pastels are the epitome of spring and mint green is beautiful on its own, or even when paired with other ice-cream shades. I love this shade because it goes with everything from lilac to turquoise and is wearable both day and night. Hooray for flexibility.

For those not native to British weather, we've been having a bit of a cold spell until this week when suddenly the grey clouds have parted and some sunshine has decided to arrive late to the party. Hooray for sunshine.
Naturally, all my makeup is still in hibernation winter mode - lots of dark reds and blues - so when I saw this nail polish in H&M, I just had to have it!
Time for a bit of a Spring feeling!

Yes, I was queuing to pay at the time, and I AM THAT SUCKER
who reaches for the row of goodies deliberately lined up next to shoppers
waiting to pay. They get me EVERY time. (I’ve got no will power, I’m not even going to fight it.)
That, and it was only £1.99! Bargain.
