Neoprene Outerwear

Have you ever put together an outfit, looked in the mirror and thought to yourself, I did good with this one. That was me after putting together this look. I very rarely wear an outfit without any black but I managed to accomplish that with this and I also never wear blue and this whole outfit is basically several different shades of blue. New favourite outfit alert!

PRIMARK coat, RIVER ISLAND sweatshirt & shirt, DOROTHY PERKINS jeans, OFFICE converse

The most obvious item in this outfit is my bargain of the century and that is this neoprene coat that I found in the Primark sale for £2. No that wasn't a typo, it really was a mere £2! It's such a unusual coat being made of super thick neoprene but I just love how it looks with quite a casual look like this one. It's also surprisingly lightweight considering the material and would be perfect for transitioning into spring and early summer. Plus the colour is just amazing! 

I paired the coat with the shirt that you may have seen in last weeks post and this cropped slogan sweatshirt, both from River Island. This was actually inspired by a RI mannequin I saw in store and I just added my own twist with the coat and converse. I'm not normally one for cropped items but paired with a shirt I actually really like how it looks. 

Side note: Don't be deceived by the seemingly sunny weather in these photos. It was actually a force ten gale and quite cold, hence the layers upon layers!
