My scruffy camel coat

by Karen Blanchard
13 December 2011
It was sort of love at first sight really….Add some ankle leos and your out the door. 

Coat: Zara (found in thrift shop). My possible –> Dream coat. Leather skirt: Agnes B (found in thrift shop): Similar skirt here or here.  Shirt: Mens Zara.  Similar print shirts here or this one. Boots: Alexa Chung for Madewell: Seen before in this post. Try low heel ones. Shades: Ray Ban Wayfarer.
I got this coat about two 2 years ago and knew it was going to be a keeper. It’s basic and it’s camel and wrinkled. That’s what I get for sitting weird in the mini but I’m not the perfectly pressed type anyway.  Another in black and you’d be set capsule coat wise.  I added a black leather pencil skirt and a mens scarf print shirt. Luvviiiit.  What I’d give to run into a guy wearing it at the same time. This shirt looks so unisex to me. 
Bit of an early Christmas pressie for one of you lot: 

Beso.com is offering one of you a cash spending spree of $400 for anything on their site!   How to win:  ‘like’ the Beso facebook page and leave a comment below under this post only.
