As a child I never wore a coat, this was one of the ongoing battle between me and my parents. And this seems to have stuck with me over the years. I never liked wearing coats and the whole hassel of carrying them around and most of the time I simply couldn’t find a coat that I felt worked well with my outfit. However, recently I have discovered, not only the joys of being warm (hum hum) but also how a simple statement coat/blazer jacket can really pull an outfit together. So as summer start, I find myself with a useless new obsession; coats and outerwear. As I have said time after time, trends are just not for me I can never seem to follow them in time.

Anyway I thought I would share with you two types of outerwear I am really loving right now, to change things up a bit as I have been obsession over trench coats for too long. I am really liking the whole cropped fur jacket which really does change an outfit from boring to exciting and I am loving the whole gold blazer look which for me it the perfect outerwear fro summer. It looks great worn as a casual day time look and is perfect to throw over any evening look. I actually have this gold blazer worn here and dressed down a while ago. Funnily I found it in a thrift shop and then all of a sudden it poped up in all the H&Ms.

What will your coverup for this summer be? Any particular outerwear you have your eyes on?

    Toni, you have this uncanny ability to pick out things that I already have or want, meaning you have great style ! This glam item caught my eye precisely two weeks ago. I refrained in order to protect my account from the severe damage I wanted to inflict on it that day, with the many items I wanted to buy. You look uber relaxed and chic at the same time.

  9. Je ne suis pas vraiment fan de tout ce qui est doré ou brillant mais je dois admettre que ce blazer est fabuleux ! Moi, mon obsession du moment, c’est de trouver une veste ou un manteau à manches courtes !

    • FashionCloud says:

      Tu es comme moi, moi tout ce qui brille et scintille pas mon truc mais bizarrement sur un blazer ça peux bien donner. Et quand c’est réussit et avec goût, ca te change toute une tenue!!
