OOTD - Featuring A Duster Coat

Thought I'd give the duster/trench coat trend a whirl today & I just love this one from Mint Velvet.  It's gloriously soft & lightweight so perfect for this time of year to wear whilst the day warms up & of course being Mint Velvet it has some lovely detailing too, such as the tab sleeves & sheer panels at the back.

For it's first outing I've decided to keep the look pretty simple & have teamed the coat with my black distressed cigarette jeans, sparkly sandals & patterned top but it would look equally stunning dressed up with either a simple dress or wax effect skinny trousers & heels.

I just love the sheer panelling on the back, something that little bit different which helps break up the look, especially with it being all black.

Plus I just love the draping & how the collar falls.

Busy day in the office today after a lovely day spent celebrating my son's 16th yesterday.  Barnum was fantastic, of course made even more so by Brian Conley.  The Hippodrome had really pushed the boat out in helping making his birthday extremely special including a signed programme from the cast - it's the little things isn't it that make a day so memorable.  It really was such a fantastic show that if you get the chance you really should go & see it.  

Finally before I leave you, you may recall my wedding guest challenge I did a few weeks ago for Bonprix (see here), well the competition has now gone live & I would love it if you could vote for me to win.  So if you fancy giving me a vote & making my day please click here - thank you :-)

Happy 'hump' day ladies.

    1. Thanks Nora & yes we've already dipped our toe in the dating scene but I'm sure that's about to start going up a notch, although I'm hoping I can go shopping with the girlfriend ;-)
