I was so excited to wake up on the morning of Good Friday to find glorious sunshine and mild weather- what a perfect start to the ten glorious days off of work I had stretching out ahead of me! It also meant I could finally ditch the heavy winter coat and break out a new purchase from a few weeks ago (what clothes buying ban?) when I popped in to Cabot Circus with my Mum. I don’t often pay Urban Outfitters a visit but when I do I seem to always end up purchasing some real bargains.
Coat: Urban Outfitters | Jeans: New Look | Boots: c/o Lunar Shoes
Ben wasted no time in pointing out that this coat bears more than a small resemblance to a dressing gown but I personally feel like that’s part of the charm! I love the midi-length, nifty hood and belted detail. I also loved the price at just £15 reduced from £89! It pairs perfectly with the latest addition to my jeans collection (which is frankly just this pair at present) which were another bargain at £8 in New Look due to a bit of a stain on one of the legs that I soon managed to wash out. I’ve been in desperate need of some jeans to wear until I fit back in to my usual selection but as I aim to grow out of them before too long I didn’t want to spend much at all so these fit the bill perfectly. Add in my faithful brown ankle boots from Lunar Shoes and you pretty much have my weekend uniform until it warms up enough to ditch the coat completely.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the long weekend, it’s been a very lazy one here with a visit to my parents and cooking my very first roast dinner which made me feel oddly grown up (and so it should at almost 29 years old!). I still have another week before I’m due back at work with no idea what I might do yet, Ben’s on Easter break from his job in a school and although we had grand ideas of days out and productivity the reality is more likely to be a few sea front strolls and a lot of time on the sofa eating chocolate!
The coat looks lovely! We are having a really lazy Easter weekend too. With the wind and rain over the last few days we couldn’t really be bothered to plan anything. Sometimes I think you need a bit of downtime though.
I have no problem wearing a coat that resembles a dressing gown 😀 Your coat looks great

That coat looks super comfy though, I really like it xoxo
Enjoy your break from work, I’m taking the same amount of time off work at the moment also and it’s amazing (just wish it wasn’t going by so fast). I love the coat. It looks so warm and beautiful!
This looks so cosy!
Lovely coat. I don’t often go in UO either but the one in Bristol is quite nice. I do love their dresses.
Such a beautiful coat, it looks so cosy! <3
I love the coat! It looks super cosy. Your lazy weekend sounds ideal to me, I wish I could rewind the clock and just chill out again 🙂
