Lets have a black celebration


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


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

  5. 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.

  16. Ooh that is a perfect coat Lucy, and I love what you're wearing underneath it too, all perfection. I've not had much luck buying clothes on Ebay, I think I definitely need to try before I buy or else be able to return stuff without any hassle, but you're making me want to chance my luck again with this beauty! xx

  22. That is a seriously cool and fits-like-a-dream coat! Love the pop of colour underneath, the Lucy we know and love is a brightly coloured bird, after all!
    I remeber Depeche Mode as a boyband, despite years of being "gothic" I can never see past bow ties and "See You"! xxx
