I’m going to write a more cheery post today. The funeral is
booked for 16th September so a week on Tuesday. I feel very much
like I am in a limbo type place. Not really sad, because I haven’t said goodbye
yet but not quite right as I know the time to say goodbye is coming.
But I thought I would do a little post update anyhow. So I
wanted to share my new coat. I have a real issue with coats. Last year I bought
3 D:
THREE coats it was ridiculous. The problem was is I rushed
in a bought one that didn’t fit that great; I then rushed in again and bought
another one I wasn’t 100% sure about. These were mistakes as, as I have learnt I
should only buy something if I am 110% happy with it and how it fits. I then
bought one from ASOS in January, again I was never 110% sure although this
fitted well the material ended up being very uncomfortable, there was also no
fur on the hood which is something I really wanted and it was probably a little
too big as when I tried it on again this year it I am swimming in it.
Actually it was technically 4 coats ahah, but I got a really
fancy Hell Bunny coat for my birthday but this is a special fancy going out
coat which I plan on making sure I wear much more this winter!
Anyhow, I was going to try and make do but then I saw one in
topshop and just fell in love. I decided to get it as a birthday gift. This was
back at the beginning on August and as it was selling out in a size 14 quite
quickly from what I saw I picked one up and popped it on my credit card and it
has sat in my room for now just in case I spied a better one when the autumn
winter clothes were realised.
I popped to pick up a dress I had ordered from new look for
the funeral and on my way in a spied another coat that caught my attention. I
thought no no I won’t try this one I have mine, its much nicer but then I though
ahh maybe I’ll have a quick look. I put it on and the fit was just perfect, it
made me realise that perhaps the topshop one may not fit as well as I would of
liked. It zips up rather than big buttons at the top so I have more breathing
room in it and an option to unzip it slightly I get too hot. The fur is very
impressive (although not as nice as the topshop coat). I decided to buy it take
it home and compared it. On first glance I thought no, no the topshop one is
much much nicer, and I still feel this way on first look when it’s on a hanger,
but then when I put it on the New Look one just looked so much nicer. It hangs
nicely much more fitted and complementing, it’s longer and the zip feature is
great much better and more comfortable than buttons that only do up round my
neck. Much as I adore the topshop one I thought, no, I have to go with the more
comfortable one because that really does make or break it for me, and I DO NOT
want to end up not wearing it again. The other thing that played at the back of
my head was that it wouldn’t look so great with hoodys and more casual looks whereas
this other one I think would go nicely with dresses and hoodys and even my PJ
bottoms when I go to tesco :p
SO the first coat is going back. I feel like this is meant
to be as I only have a few more days left to return the first one!
Anyway that was very long winded but I am very excited to wear
my coat now, and I’m welcoming the cooler weather (after my birthday as I can’t
have it until then)
Excuse the terrible photos!
TopShop Coat
New Look Coat
And then I also found a little gem on Saturday. We popped
into Redhil so I could get a vest top. Walking past a shop called Street Talk I
spied a dress in the window. Now street talk was where I bought my angry
grunger stuff when I was a teenager so I was surprised to be buying something
so delicate and lovely in there. I went in found it and tried it on. Little disappoint
there was only a S/M but thought it looked like quite a large small medium so I
tried it on and it fitted like a glove. It very quickly came home with me! I
know what I will be wearing when I go the weekend before France. As you can see it is covered in little birds and palm trees!
Anyway coat caffle done with, I am now very happy and I am
also very glad it is Friday!
