You can feel the possibility of spring in the air, longer days and more sunshine. I adore coats, you might have noticed from my pervious posts. I'm somewhere between petite and regular size so getting the proper fit can be a problem. This orange coat fits great (sleeves are not to long and no belt) and I appreciate the detailed construction plus gold accents.
Some collect jewelry or shoes, but my weakness is a fancy purse. I'm such a fan of folk art, so this embroidered leather bag is one of my favorites. This handbag makes an outfit feel particularly special and gold hardware matches my earrings. What do you collect?
Well, could have another early March blizzard here in the upper midwest. Hopefully the snow will melt soon and early spring tulips will grace the landscape.

Wow! Another combination of elements which sings, the colours in the patterns, solids, and landscape, perfect proportions.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this coat is outstanding among well-loved coats. Is the bottom closure a flower-shaped snap? That kind of detail knocks me over!
Thanks so much Amber. I am enjoying editing the pictures and creating a fashion story with them. The visual decision making is the same as making art although I wish my writing skills were better. I going to start an art blog soon.
ReplyDeleteThe closures on the coat are gold twist snaps, kind of like a purse closure. I'm a nut for detail in construction!
Looking forward to your next post!
I completely love your outfit. Wonderful coat and the blue skirt is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, just purchased the blue skirt. I think it will be worn often.
