Can I rock this coat?

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

Have wanted a long wool coat for forever but am very short, very skint and very cool toned so most that I see are too long/too ££ and/or camel/brown colours which just don't suit me.

Found this in a charity shop this morning and think I love it. It's a very pale silvery grey which works really well with my colouring.

My style is quite eccentric retro/80's so the relaxed fit and lack of fastenings really appeal to that.

Would wear with jeans/jumpers or dresses and tights with either Dr martens or brogues. Was thinking some colourful scarves could add interest?

Hit or miss?

That's lovely. How much, I love to hear about bargains?

[Loyly]

It's great.

[strongandlong]

I think it looks great!

[Gettingbackinthesaddle]

Definite hit. Love it and want one

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

Silently it was £13 which is a lot more than I would usually spend in a charity shop but it really spoke to me .

And even though it's a brand I've never heard of and can't find online, it appears to be really good quality.

It looks great on you and from what you say will suit your style perfectly. I don't think you need scarves to 'add interest'.

And yes, how much did you pay for it? I love a bit of charity shop porn too.

That's a fab coat! And it suits you. Buy it at once!

[squoosh]

Oooh £13. Good work lady.

[FlappyRose]

It’s lovely. Looks great!

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

Yeah squoosh I'm not even a scarf kinda gal tbh. Bold lipstick instead!

Thanks everyone. Feeling very happy with my purchase now .

[falaciousreasoning]

Love it and it looks fab on you. I love your lip colour too, I wish I could wear such a bold colour.

[RoseWhiteTips]

It really suits you. Nice!

[CJCreggsGoldfish]

That looks fab! I like your style OP.

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

That's gorgeous, you look fab! Love your style (and your shoes)

[Paintbox]

Absolute hit op!

[retainertrainer]

That's a definite hit! I do think it'd look better shorter-I don't think a seamstress would charge much to hem it but if you're happy with the length then it's great!

[lasttimeround]

Lovely - plus excellent shoes.

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

Thanks again everyone.

The length is a huge part of why I love it retainer. I have lots of shorter coats but they never feel like 'me' unless they're a) leopard print faux fur or b) leather bikers. I was actively looking for a long one .

There was a beautiful dark brown 1970's one as well but it was literally ankle length on me and I looked like a child playing dress up 😂.

[tinydancer88]

I'm jealous - that's exactly the kind of coat I'm after. You look great.

[sadcaptains]

I love that coat, OP! Looks great

[Mustang27]

Very jealous and you are definitely rocking it.

[cessie322]

It's gorgeous, great find.

[GymBunnieWannabe]

You look amazing! I love it

[Mrskeats]

Gorgeous and what a bargain!
