| Purple Coat - Papaya @ Matalan (thrifted) Scarf - Orla Kiely @ Uniqlo (still in stock!) Navy Skinny Jeans - Gok @ Sainsburys Boots - Mango Sunglasses (yay!) - Gianfranco Ferre @ TK Maxx (£12 in the sale!!!) |
This coat is actually purple...looks more of a cobalt blue on the photos for some reason. Anyway, I picked it up in the charity shop - attracted by the colour and the shape - it's got that slight tulip style shape about it (there is probably a proper fashion term for that but I don't know what it is). Here's a side view which might help my description?
And here's what was underneath and a better view of my new Orla Kiely scarf from Uniqlo.
OMG - loving this scarf! I first saw it on Emma from 'Adventures of An Unfit Mother', whom I met up with a few months ago and I loved the colours. Then when I was in London, I spied it in Uniqlo (a post to come on my time in Uniqlo!) and had to have it (sorry Emma - we shall have to co-ordinate scarves on our next meet up). And I'm also debuting my new Uniqlo heattech top (super cosy) AND my Cos necklace, both purchased at the weekend. Oh and the sunglasses - wow, what a bargain from TK Maxx. They have some amazing ones in the clearance department. These were originally £169! No case with them but for £12, I wasn't complaining.

Ok, off now to do the sunny school run in my purpleness...enjoy the rest of your day!
Loved reading about your blogger meet up - all those fab women. I am a total sucker for purple, loving all the shades and this one look so pretty (and warm) on you
ReplyDeleteThey are such a great group of girls...we talked about you and wished you were there too! Thank you for your lovely comment, Avril x
DeleteHi my dear! Really lovely outfit, I am such a fan of Uniqlo and have 4 of those heattech tops in different colours, so ideal as cosy layering pieces. Your scarf is gorgeous well done for snaffling it as well as the bargainous sunglasses too! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon! I was slow to the Uniqlo heattech top but will be buying more now - they are fantastic! Avril x
DeleteWhat a lovely outfit! The coat is fab and love the sunnies! I'm a big fan of Uniqlo thermals (and merino knits too) but have to stock up when I go to London, no shop up here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire...wish they would open one up here too. I know you can order online but it's great to see all the different colours. Avx
DeleteWORKING THE SUNNIES! Amazing outfit
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you GL! xx
DeleteHi Avril,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit. Purple really suits you. What colour is your necklace? Is it the bronze colour like the one in the link? I really fancy some new necklaces in a colour that isn't silver.

Hi Kitty...sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks for you comment - my necklace is exactly the same as the one online. It has a silver chain on it but is bronze in colour. Is going to come in handy...I'm keen to get away from silver now and again but am not a huge fan of gold myself! Avril x
DeleteI am loving the colour of this outfit. Really suits you & i really want thta scarf! x
ReplyDeleteAW, thanks Amanda! The scarf is great - grab one before they sell out! Avril x
DeletePerfect colour and love the scarf. I also enjoyed the blogger meet up post. Can't wait till I meet up with you lovely ladies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iva! Wish you could have made it, Avril x
DeleteI adore the scarf obvs- dead chuffed you spotted it on me first- what a compliment! Looks fabulicious with that coat too !
ReplyDeleteYou trendsetter you! Missed you yesterday...hopefully catch up again soon. We were talking about the 21st March I think? Loving your new shoes on the blog today...yum! Avx
DeleteScarf is beautiful. Do they deliver to Ireland?
ReplyDeleteHi Sammy, they don't currently but I'm always happy to be a mule for you if you want anything. It should only cost a couple of extra pounds to post from me to Ireland. Message me on [email protected] if you would like to do this..it's not a problem! Ax
DeleteI am a great fan of purple - I just wish it was a fan of mine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf.
Aw, Jane, I'm sure you could wear purple, no? My sister in law told me it's the universal colour that everyone can wear? Perhaps not. Ax
DeleteThat necklace is so so you! Love that colour on you and the scarf looks great with it. And hip hip hoobloodyray for being able to wear sunglasses! Xx
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I may have worn them on my head until well after darkness :)
DeleteSnap! Bought that scarf as well .. but for a friend of mine. Necklace is lovely on you. I really like the colour purple and it really suits you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, great minds and all that! Avx

ReplyDeleteThank you Natalie - hope you pick up some gorgeous sunglasses too! Avril x
DeleteSome Sisley ones, £100 down to £14.99, thank you!x
DeleteLOVE this - the purple coat is great - Matalan was a real eye opener for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanna, Matalan is improving all the time - I find it a bit huge and overwhelming when I go in first but if you have time to really look, there are some gorgeous pieces. Avril x
DeleteWhat an amazing thrifty find! Great coat and so nice to brighten up a grey day with a colouful coat. Adore the scarf too xx
