Halston 100% wool full length coat with velvet lined hood and velvet buttons. I paid $25 for it and I'll confess that I do gloat a little every time I put it on.
I think the black leather gloves (also a thrift store bargain) add an elegant touch. The hat was a gift from Hubby from Simply Vintage and I added the bakelite hatpin from ebay. Linking up to the Style Crone's Hat Attack.
The outfit underneath (which I braved the cold to show you - you're welcome) is based around last week's thrift store find. I think Giant Dog approves.
My ongoing attempts to add more color and pattern into my wardrobe resulted in this long rayon dress. It's a serious departure from my usual palette but it blends nicely with the burgundy I'm so comfortable wearing so it works. It's a summer dress so I had to really layer it up for winter. The pale blue is definitely a new color for me and works with this week's 52 Pick-me-up: Morning Glory!
My squee of the week is this pair of bright yellow bakelite bangles I got for $2 each. (The mustard bakelite bangle is a $1 find from earlier in the fall.)
These Fluevogs are turning into my go to shoes. I'm really digging the burgundy and mustard together. Linking to Patti's Visible Monday with this color combo!
Marvelous cold-weather outfit, ArgentGal! The hat is my favorite. thanks for linking up to Visible Monday, xo.
