Sheepskin and Lace



                                Coat: Stolen from Granny. Shirt: Charity Shop. Shorts: H&M. Bag: Gift. 


This sheepskin coat is one of my most treasured (and cosiest) wardrobe pieces. I found it when raiding my granny's wardrobe, who, as a great hoarder has a vast collection of both her own and my mum's old clothes. It was a lucky find as sheepskin and it's faux replicas are greatly overpriced on the highstreet. 

I love sheepskin, and I think this oversized coat is quite reminiscent of 90s grunge which is probably my favourite casual look. 

Also, I watched Blue Valentine for the first time yesterday which stars Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. If you have not seen it go and give it a watch and if you don't like it I am certain the soundtrack will get you dancing...I have had this song embedded in my brain ever since. 


And thank you all so much for all your lovely comments.

      Thank you :) I am the same, I honestly don't think I own anything in my actual size, or more to the point, I don't even know what my size is these days haha. x x
