The snow and ice means I have had plenty of occasions to wear my current, and possibly all time favourite coat.
Isn't it grand?
I have wanted a long black steampunk/military style coat for ages but was holding out for the perfect one... at last found on Ebay. Paired with another of my beloved acquisitions my new Dr Marten knee boots, I feel like the 'gothmother'
Maybe not so much when the coat comes off
Oh yes I embrace colour, and it certainly has it's place
But I don't think I will ever be able to resist the allure of my first love for very long.
I wore:-
Hat - Debenhams
Top, cardigan and skirt - Ebay
Tights - Can't remember
Boots - Dr Martens - present from my mister
Coat - Joe Browns via Ebay - another present from my mister
Russian Brooch - Etsy
Scarf and bag - charity shop
Scarf and bag - charity shop
Anyway,
here is where I should post a link to 'Black Celebration' by Depeche
Mode from where I pinched my post title. But, you know what? I'm gonna
choose a different DM song cos this one is sexier and has a video
featuring Dave Gahan at his hottest!
You're welcome
Marvellous coat!!I love that the total black reveals a colorful outfit underneath, the boots and the hat are flawless!Great DM video,Dave Gahan's beauty is perfect to bright up a little this rainy Monday evening!

Lovely coat and hat! You can get military coats really cheap down this way in a fab surplus shop, Andy has a RN one he picked up for next to nothing in immaculate condition.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coat! I love the details and shape. And it looks like it was made for that hat. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that coat IS a beauty! Perfect with the little hat too.

ReplyDeleteOoh that is a perfect coat Lucy, and I love what you're wearing underneath it too, all perfection.
