But grey days are no excuse for not making the effort, the easiest way to brighten your life from now until the end of March is with a coat from the sales.
This checked number from Zara at £59.99 is a good example of the High St bargains around.
PS Update thanks for all the tights comments. It goes to show coloured tights make a big difference to a look. Imagine mustard tights in a ribbed knit or more of a burgundy or even a bright orange. Cheerful huh!
It's the tights and boots that really make the colours in this coat pop.Most people buy something like that and tone it down with black which is a real shame. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm still wearing my Next coat from 2 winters ago which is a check pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing my giant dogtooth Next coat- it looks almost like a cape- it's many, many years old.
ReplyDeleteI have a ludicrous collection of coats, they take up too much room but otherwise in winter, I feel dull with my varied clothes covered with the same coat!
Yes I love the way this coat is styled much better than just black xx
ReplyDeleteThat is a very wearable coat, and the red tights make all the difference in the look.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the tights really make it. It would also look fabulous with a belt around the middle. One in patent would look really smart.
ReplyDeleteI love a bit of tartan-esq for winter, mmm mustard tights yes please!
ReplyDeleteGood coat. Love coloured tights too. I have many colours. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteA zingy coat is an absolute must have for me. I think my best purchase of 2010 was the tapestry beauty I picked up for £4 at a car boot sale. Everyone loves it!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with the tights comments btw.
I'm with Vix - it's a shame black tights are still our fall-back position. This is such a good idea, too...which is why I plumped for a vivid purple coat this winter!
