Leather & Stripes

After being on the hunt for the perfect leather-look skirt, I finally found this one in the Warehouse sale a couple of weeks ago. I have never, yes you read that correctly, never shopped in Warehouse before this rare occasion and if I hadn't have been shopping with a friend, I doubt I ever would have. I think I had this weird preconception that it was much more of an old-fashioned store than it actually is, only to be struck by the latest 'trends' as soon as I stepped into the store! I will never judge a store without having actually visited it ever again...

White Out

Festivities are officially over and working life has started back up again. Let's just say it was a shock on Monday morning when my alarm sounded at 6am! If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen some snippets of this outfit but for those of you who don't, this was my back-to-work, let's rock it outfit!I felt comfortable, warm and like I wanted to swish my coat round behind me...

The Coat

This coat has definitely left me in a rather confusing situation. On the one hand I think it is the statement coat to rival all others and will be perfect for transitioning through winter as it can be worn both open or closed for two very different looks. But another part of me is screaming out that I must return the dressing gown-esque bathrobe back to Zara immediately. As I mentioned, it is from Zara and for the quality and darn right drama it brings with it, it was an absolute steal but I can't quite help thinking if it really is the coat that I had imagined it being.
