The Coat's The Thing

Every so often, I set my eyes on an item of clothing and suddenly I cannot get enough of it. This summer it was the woolly jumpers (bizarre it may seem for a summer obsession, not so in Ireland) and I spent a great deal of the summer in woolly jumpers (again not so bizarre considering the weather we had) but now I find that my growing obsession for coats is taking over. And it's taking over badly. 

I haven't actually bought any coats so far since my sights shifted from woolly jumpers to coats but that's just because this time my sights appear to have set themselves pretty high unfortunately.

If you look really closely, you can see the pink lining in the sleeve, which brings me to...

The dusty pinks

Love love love love love!

Chloé also showed a few pink jackets which were also gorgeous but did not quite excite me as much as the coats (the coats, the glorious coats!) but the pink coats are something that really caught my eye. I really want a pink coat. Really really want a pink coat. So much so that I actually considered how long it might take me to save for the somewhere in the reign of €1800 price tag. 

And then I bought Grazia. 

So if you ever buy Grazia - which I don't actually do that regularly but I am so glad I did on this occasion - you'll know that in the first few pages of actual content they have like a list of twenty clothing items or jewellery pieces to look out for, a watchlist or something like that. I think it was The Big Fashion Issue from about two weeks ago but I'm not entirely sure but anyway whichever issue it was inside their watchlist thing was a dusty pink coat. From Marks & Spencer's for a far more affordable price of something like £89. As far as I can remember reading, it won't be in store until sometime this month but I do feel like maybe I will want to make a purchase. Eeeee! It was pretty hard to find a picture online but this (below) seems to be the one.

Look at those lovely slouchy sleeves!

Now I'm sure you're reading this and thinking "Coats. For Autumn? Groundbreaking" but all the magazines are obviously featuring (alongside all the Fashion Weeks stuff) the winter collections so I just cannot get away from all of these beautiful coats. There's no escape!

Cheers for reading,
