Camel + Pastel

I recently added a 'must have' camel coat to my already extensive collection of outerwear, oooops. I did think carefully about this purchase but it was too much of a bargain to leave. Its from French Connection but I bought it from ASOS.com, £150 down to £83!!!!!! (I know). In my defence I have wanted a smart camel coat for ages but instead I bought a practical puffa coat to wear for work, which I don't regret as its kept me nice and toastie walking to work. I instantly fell in love with this camel beauty so it had to be. Below I have pictured myself wearing the coat with some other recent additions to wardrobe. Underneath I am wearing a knitted cream cropped polo neck jumper from...... Primark for £3, again I couldn't leave it there. The scarf I'm wearing is from Reiss, I think the powder blue compliments the camel colour perfectly! Again the scarf was another bargain, I definitely have sale eyes, £20 down from £79. It does tend to malt all over my clothes therefore I have learnt not to wear it all day but for an impact outfit its great. I paired this outfit with black high waisted leggings and heels (not shown) my everday hint of berry lipstick and gold hoop earrings that I have worn everyday for 2 years now, my babies. Hope you like this combo as much as I do :)

The coat has a cross over double breasted front with big black buttons, not the best of photos but shows the whole coat. Here is a link to the Asos website if anyone is interested in purhcasing.

Pyjama suit

Soooo I thought I would post some pictures of my Saturday night outfit. In the January sales I purchased the patterned top and trousers pictured. Both from Zara, the top cost £22.99 and trousers were £29.99. My sales eyes were definitely out and drawn to those pretty orange sales stickers in Zara. I love print, especially floral like this one so I was drawn to it automatically. I'm usually not too frightened about wearing what I want but in the fitting room I was conscious that it looked like I was wearing pyjamas...... Putting this thought to the back of my mind I bought it (well thats pretty obvious). This was just after christmas, I haven't had an opportunity to wear the infamous outfit that was lurking in my wardrobe until Saturday night. It was cold and rainy therefore didn't fancy getting my legs out so I went for it. Luckily I didn't get any drunken abuse and was allowed into the club we went to so I think it was a success...... Let me know if anyone agrees or disagrees. P.S I apologise for the bad photo's, I'm not great at the whole picture taking thing and my dad was in charge of the camera. I accessorised my outfit with a French Connection necklace, also a sale purchase. An Asos navy blazer and Boo Hoo buckled platform boots (which I love). I also wore my bright orange Chanel lipstick show in the last picture.
