So...I don't quite know what happened to November. I do apologize for my total absence from this blog. November has been a very busy month what with Halloween, bonfire night, my birthday, several other people's birthdays and so on. Outfit posts are getting trickier too, since I leave for and return from work in the dark now. Still I have the weekend. Since my last post the weather's turned wintery so I decided to wear something a little brighter than usual for a Sunday afternoon walk. I don't own much 'bright' coloured clothing, aside from a couple of red things. Still sometimes it's nice to wear something a little different. I'm also having some trouble finding the right winter coat this year. I really want a navy duffel coat, but one that's genuinely warm, not just a thin high street one, and the perfect vintage one eludes me still. This tweed coat is a little big (I've turned the sleeves under) but for now it will have to do. I hope everyone's having a good month. I will be updating the shop this week (really, I have the photos done) so please stay tuned.

  1. Saaaame. A navy duffle coat would be boss. I was able to snag one at Forever 21 last year but it's just a jacket and I'm scared to wear it out. Best of luck in your hunt!

    The red and brown make you look like a stylish hunter. I mean that in a very good way. :)

  3. I also want a navy duffle coat (Dang it, Bea, you beat me to it)! I really wanted one from Dahlia but, god, the prices are mind blowing.

    My friend asked me why I wanted to go to the UK on holiday next year since Spain was warmer, cheaper, and has better food. I quipped back, "Jumble sales!" I am in awe what you picked out for oh-so-little money but put together to look fantastic!

  5. Love this outfit, that color is amazing. Plus, this looks super warm and anything that is super warm is a plus in my book lately.

  7. I really love the colour scheme going on here (though I bet that field is now covered in snow, right)? ; )

    I saw a vintage blue toggle coat on Etsy recently I think. No idea where though, and shipping is so expensive on coats. Check though. I agree that the high street coats are rubbish...
