My 'new' coat.


If you follow me across my other social media, you may have noticed my lovely new coat I've been wearing lately.
This one, to be precise.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Well, I've been looking out for a new coat for a while, since although I probably have more than enough coats, I didn't quite have one to match with my frills. Either they didn't have the right aesthetics or shape, or both.

I had it in mind, sometime in the not-too-distant future, to be going to Closet Child or Tokyo Alice in order to purchase the right coat. Which would result in me having a considerably lighter purse by the end of it.

But then, I found it.

A few weeks ago, when I was working in the charity shop I volunteer at, I saw this lovely red coat hanging on the rack. 

Immediately I took it to the back room to try it on later. I was told to try it on there and then by one of the lovely ladies I work with, who have become used to my  aesthetic sensibilities and now seem to throw clothes at me the minute I walk through the door.

The coat really was a very lucky find. My favourite colour, and the right shape to accommodate a petticoat. The fabric is a little thinner than some others, but that's really no hardship, as we don't particularly have very cold winters in this country. 


It cost me £4. (≧∇≦)

What bargains have you found so far this year?

P.S. My darling younger sister has a new camera~ thanks to her for the photos.

Thank you for reading. (・ω・)ノ
