Yes..I've gone and done it - bought a pink coat! I actually bought it a few weeks ago but haven't worn it on the blog yet. It's from Warehouse and in fairness, it doesn't look very pink in these photos (phone photos as I don't have a camera atm...sorry!) but I can assure you it's a lovely blush shade - pretty much the same as my LK Bennett Annina bag. I think it's a pink shade that's easier to wear over time. I know I would tire of a bright bubblegum pink.

It's a perfect match for this statement necklace I bought in as a sample for the shop. Gorgeous to look at but the quality is rubbish so I won't be stocking them - sorry. I had to use the pliers on this one to fit it together as it had broken en-route.
Worn with Gap boyfriend jeans and Zara studded ankle boots, which I picked up in the sale earlier this year.
The occasion was a lovely evening at LK Bennett at The Outlet in Banbridge for the launch of Jack & Jillaroo - my friend's new website which sells her gorgeous bamboo organic cotton bibs and burp cloths for babies. It almost makes me broody looking at the cuteness...almost...
and here's the beautiful woman behind all these creations - the super talented Cath.
Lovely evening and I even met a couple of girls who follow the blog - so nice to put faces to names. Thanks for saying hi, Lorraine & Linda!
So what about the pink coat thing....have you been tempted?
I'm off now to Disney on Ice with my birthday girls....wish me luck!

I love your coat Avril. I agree that a blush has more logevity than a brighter shade. Such a shame about the necklace because it's gorgeous. Good luck with the Disney on Ice!! Love Liz x
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame - that necklace is an absolute corker! You could always stock pliers lol. Lovely outfit x
ReplyDeleteI love it! The coat is so pretty and that necklace is a stunner - sorry to hear the quality isn't great, but it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the coat and necklace, what a shame about the quality! x
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty shade of pink, it reminds me of the pink sugar almonds! xx
ReplyDeleteLoving the coat ... shame about the necklace. And also seriously LOVING your new stock of scarves. That red, camel & navy leopard print has my name on it! (it does ... doesn't it??!!!) xx
ReplyDeleteIt does look lovely on you and what a shame about that necklace which matches it perfectly. I haven't been tempted, I'm being really good and am slowly trying to fill my wardrobe with classic coats and colours but I love pink on others and have bought one, but not for me, for one of my daughters xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks very similar in colour to the coat Laura bought in Oasis Avril and I agree you will get far more wear out of it than a brighter shade:) Pity about the lovely necklace....have a great weekend!

I love the coat & it so suits you! I've just gone down the camel coloured path! The necklace is so gorgeous & such a shame its not worth stocking as that would be been a great seller! Ax
