Mini-Review + Autumn Wear

Without a doubt, a good coat is something that should always be invested in, especially if you live in a city where it can be freezing 6 months. Early in August, I was walking around H&M without the intention of really buying anything, and found this coat. I thought "$34.95? Can't be true, plus it can't be such a great fit, especially with that boxy-ish cut." Put it on? Totally different story. I made the decision SO fast to purchase it, and best of all, N agreed with me! It flattered my petite figure, fit well in the shoulders, wasn't too long/too short, and would be perfect for the fall.

2 months later, I've finally got to wear this bad boy out. I have to say, for $34.95, it really was worth it! It's a wool blend, so it keeps me nice and warm, and is an entirely different kind of coat from the one I wore ALL of last year (see here).

(Coat; H&M, Cardigan (not seen); Talula via Aritzia, Dress; H&M, Belt; Joe Fresh, Shoes; Joe Fresh, Satchel; Danier Leather).

The one thing that I have to complain about, is the wool is kind of itchy, by kind of I mean, REALLY. Mainly because I have extremely eczema prone skin, so if you plan on hunting this coat down, beware.

This is what my outfit looked like without the coat on, see what a difference the coat makes? Adds a nice classic touch without looking too formal.



P.S. I've become such a pro at these jumping shots with the remote, I should list it as a skill on my resumé.

P.P.S. Yes, the tights are out, unfortunately. It's gotten quite chilly in the mornings and at night. Plus, I'm a huge wimp.
