Padded Cell.. x
Sometimes I wonder if my coat obsession is a bit like a whining cry of entitlement, endlessly wanting it all. The Husband is certainly worried – he now wants one coat in, one coat out..which seems eminently sensible..but it nags away at me. I just think we spend a lot more time in coats – particularly in the UK – than we ever give them credit for. They can be the ultimate style statement of an outfit.
The latest flame for my moth is the quilted coat. I’ve been looking for the perfect one for sometime and was even considering buying an indian kantha quilt to make into the ideal article. How ironic then to see Burberry Porsum with the same idea..
(Although I know which option will be cheaper..)
And then there’s the smoking jacket, once the sole preserve of men and now fair game for all with their jewel-like colours radiating magpie charm. How cool with the cropped trousers and no-nonsense footwear?
Or else there’s the Japanese option, particularly the winter quilted kimono jackets to love and wear..imagine with a pair of dark navy flares and a casually worn cross-body fringe bag..and the majority of these are reversible: Two for the price of one! Bargain!
The truth is how can one be limited in a world of endless possibilities??

Love the oversized leather one! Next on my wish list I think!
There’s something about them.. xxx
How dare anyone try to curtail your coat obsession! You’re in the UK! You NEED those coats. We live in them. Most people I know don’t know what I look like sans coat!
I have a cunning plan to put up a coat wardrobe in our cellar…xxx
I am also a Coat Addict! Some of mine are coming to the end of their time so I will be able to replace them with colour and or pattern styles after the Summer. I love the quilted coats shown too and I think even with coats, I try to choose a style I know I’ll wear a lot now and the future and is reasonably versatile. Good luck deciding!
Do I have to decide? Can’t I have all of them??! xxx
I find it so easy to buy coats and jackets too. Bought 3 this season already! Ooops
Girl after my own heart! xxx
Some stylish options around London, I see. I’ve had this “One in, One out” business leveled at me but I tell you I’m not standing for it! Sneak it by him xo
What I want to know is why coats have to be so big??! xxx
