I'm not normally one to get excited about clothes for myself, and actually don't enjoy going out shopping for them, but every now and then, a little treasure comes along to make me feel good.
I popped into the 'age UK' charity shop in Shepton Mallet yesterday and was looking through the coat rail...
When this little beauty spoke to me. She's a faux fur knee length coat, probably from the early 1970's. She appeared unworn and was my size!
After purchasing her, I couldn't wait to take her back to my shop and try her on again in my shop's fitting room. I love her - such a lovely warm coat too.
I know that she wouldn't be to everyone's taste...

My girls think I should go and live in Lapland!!...
But hey, my bargain coat makes me happy!

It's to my taste. Lovely. Congrats on a great find. xx
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I think you look great in it, and so warm, too...
ReplyDeleteI got in a bit of trouble from my son for wearing a man's vintage waistcoat to a Christmas Do last night - but Ben told me I looked great, so I ignored the traumatised adolescent!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI had a lovely purple midi coat with cord'frog' fasters, it had a hood too, I wore it until it was shiny with wear! It then had a 'second life' as a boot liner for my then boyfriends' Mini car!
