I was trying to avoid the sales. Really, honestly…
Well, I simply couldn’t resist. In recent years I have put on a lot of weight, for a variety of reasons, and loads of my clothing staples don’t fit me any more. So, whilst I don’t often venture outside, I do need suitable clothing for those times when I must. I bought a navy casual warm jacket last year, so this year I went for a coat that is a bit more formal, but not too much. I will be able to wear this with jeans and a jumper, but also on those rare occasions when I smarten myself up and wear a dress. The coat also goes with a lot of my accessories too.
Here it is – Tanya coat in grey by Masai Clothing Company, Copenhagen:

There is one little issue: I bought it in a size too big for me! I have just ordered a smaller size and will choose the best of the two. I really like the style, fabric and colour so will take some photos with possible accessories next week.
I really think that this will fit nicely into my wardrobe and will work well for me.
Before I wish you all a happy weekend, I have just one more thing to say: many thanks to all of you who have commented on my blog, particularly since I had the stroke. I have been very bad mannered and have often not replied to these comments for ages, or even at all. I will try to sort this out over the weekend by going back through the posts. Apologies to you all xxx
Wishing everyone a very good weekend,
Love,
Anne
