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

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
So in the middle of a heatwave, what do you wear to work? My office isn't really the place for string tops or maxi dresses but the thought of wearing trousers or a tailored dress brings me out in a sweat just thinking about it.
A big sticky hot mess of a sweat.
A big sticky hot mess of a sweat.
In the heat, long sleeve shirts feel like little sauna straight jackets and anything with a lining is immediately stuck to your back or around your legs. Pencil skirts become a Thai jail for your thighs and don't get me started on anything silk (its all ruined!)
So what have I been wearing?
I picked up this lovely dress from Uniqlo the other week. It's part of the Uniqlo x Celia Birtwell collection and mixes that cool Japanese design with Celia's fab prints.
