SPORTING A CREAM TRENCH AND LAYERS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I LITERALLY WISHED I COULD GRAB THE OUTFIT RIGHT OFF HER BACK ( but in a nice way....)

Have a superb Monday girl in pink.

I am oozing with jealousy over that coat. It is seriously amazing.
Oh, and don't get me started on Marie Claire. I've never actually picked up a magazine, but I protest them after a few TRULY hateful blog posts.
Happy Monday back at you!! Since I started reading your blog, this is one of my top favorite outfits! The coat is incredible and you make a great defense for the color pink...not usually a favorite of mine, but this looks amazing!
Hope your week is as joyful as your outfit!
happy monday! your coat is absolutely fabulous!
I love the Happy Mondays (and normal mondays, too). That coat is fabulous.
I never read fashion mags, they thrive on making us feel out of date and desparate for the next clothes fix. Stick to what makes you feel good, you can't go wrong. xxx
Retro Reva, delighted to discover your blog and that coat is rocking! Loving cream or white or off-white for winter!

you look just great and completely YOU! that's what i love about 'shopping your closet'. you can get inspired to use your existing pieces in new ways - you can get a great new look, & since you're using your own stuff, it has your own personal flavor to it. i really like the green of the hat in this look, it sparks the pink and keeps it from being too 'sweet'.
mags...it's just so influenced by $$$, instead of a personal vision. you do come across the great editorial now and then, but generally it's pretty useless.
esp. now that we have BLOGS!!! steph
HA! You look fantastic in your grown up clothes. Love it all! We are so on the same page, I used to own those boots (gave them to a friend). I'm really glad we've "met", you have become a daily must read for me. Thanks for the shout out, I'm honored.
That coat is AMAZING!! I love it! I want to get out my spring pink trench coat. Think it's too late?
And I so want those boots!!
I love the coat, it's so bright and ... bright. Fabulous. x
I love the coat! I think I have a similar one in the closet. WooHoo, you gave me a great idea!

What a creative print on that coat! I'm so glad you gave us a close-up. Love the green beret--like a leaf with the floral print--lol.
I really like this outfit
Love the textures and layering
What an excellent coat...and not just for layers of cream!
I just added your web page to my favorites. I like reading your posts. Thanks!
