The 3/4 Sleeve Coat Made for Twirling
I love full skirted coats, they are made for swishing and twirling! This coat is several years old, a Primark buy, and I recently rediscovered it, after it falling out of favour for a while. I had originally imagined it with elbow length leather gloves, which remain on the 'to-buy' list, but I have started wearing it with long sleeves underneath.
And here's a pic of me wearing the coat when I first bought it, back in 2010.
Do you end up resurrecting things from the back of the wardrobe? Or once lost, do they never reappear?

Cute coat! I love a belted coat with a full skirt - they're so elegant and girly. And adorable 2010 Porcelina :) I definitely rediscover things from the depths of my wardrobe every now and then - often because I think of a new way to wear them. But this doesn't happen that often because I try very hard to live by the 6 month rule; if you haven't worn it in 6 months you never will again so throw it out! Often shoot myself in the foot this way though and throw out things I later think I really want again... CC x
ReplyDeleteGosh that's a strict rule, I don't think I could do it!! I have dresses that I only wear once a year (e.g. Christmas dresses) so I would definitely not get through my whole wardrobe in 6 months. P x
DeleteI pretty much resurrect something every week... I have so much but I like to give it all a fair go. You look great :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good attitude, to give it all a fair go.
DeleteI'm missing A57, are you?!

I was surprised to see your coat is from Primark. It looks expensive. I love the feminine sleeves and the twirliness of it. You look great!
ReplyDeleteIt was one of those rare gems, I was surprised too! X
Deletei love the twirly-ness of this! Nothing makes a girl feel beautiful like some clothes that she can spin around in:) Rediscovering pieces is literally the best thing ever, it's like going shopping in your own closet! Lovely post and i hope you have a great week!

Why thank you Rachel for stopping by! It is indeed lovely to get that 'shopping' feeling while not leaving your house x
DeleteThis is a wonderful coat and it's so great that you have had it for a while! :) Coats are things that always hang out longer in my closet than any other pieces.

That makes sense, they are an investment so we need to get our money's worth from them! Thanks for stopping by x
DeleteSo cute! You look brilliant in that coat
ReplyDeleteWell worth resurrecting, you look fab! xxx
ReplyDeleteI resurrect things all the time ;-) But it must be a particular piece to stay with me long enough to be able to get a resurrection. Love the ruffles and the full skirt part on your coat.

I love rediscovering clothes in my closet! I think that's the reason why I usually have the hardest time getting rid of clothes. Twice a year I rotate my closet putting the spring/summer stuff away and getting the fall/winter stuff out and vise versa... it's one of my favorite times of year! It's like getting all new clothes especially when I see dresses I wasn't able to wear the previous winter :)
ReplyDeleteI do rotations too, though now we've moved house there's much more space for some items to be out all year round. I just got my winter coats out and packed away the really light summer dresses. Slighly thicker ones I will try to layer up for a month or so to get some more wear out of them! And yes, finding those things you'd forgotten about is brilliant! X
DeleteAlso, love the full skirt on this dress! It's so nice to have a coat to go with fuller skirts and fuller skirted dress! :)
ReplyDeleteI am shocked that you have not changed a bit since 2010, what is your secret! That coat is a total closet staple and would look lovely with heels for a night out too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining the #reasonstodress linkup beautiful lady!

Believe me, a close-up would reveal more than a few changes!!
DeleteI have worn this coat out in the evening with green peep-toe heels and hot pink lippy, it definitely works from day to night!

Such a cute coat, but sadly would have little use in the cold autumns and winters of Finland :) But I'd love a full skirted coat as well to go along with my circle skirts and petticoats.
ReplyDeleteIf I lose something in my wardrobe it's probably gone forever :D Every now and then I find my old clothes, wear them maybe once or twice and then they are re-forgotten.
Gosh I can imagine in Finland you need super heavy duty coats! Yes it's already a bit chilly for this coat here, but I may get a bit more wear out of it over the winter if I layer up enough. X
DeleteI have a lot of things I would resurrect in a minute if I could get into them. Otherwise, I don't really own enough clothes to forget about anything.
ReplyDeleteThat is a jolly nice coat, well worth rediscovering.
