Winter coat take 2

As promised I am showing you the second winter coat I recently bought (see my first purchase in this post). This one is from the good old Zara. I have been to Zara several times and never did I ever buy any clothing pieces except for some scarves. Leave it until their end of the year sale I spotted this cropped short coat. I instantly fell in love with the lolly candy like hues. You probably know me by now, I am a big sucker for bright colours especially orange and red. Short coats work much better for my petite frame. Honestly, long coats tend to swallow me whole. Besides, short coats are more versatile to pair with practically anything. Today I am pairing it with a simple black dress and basic black boots. I added a scarf underneath to add warmth as well as even more cheerful colour :)

Hope you like both of my coats as much as I do! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for reading!

Zara Checked Duffle coat (on better sale here), Love Quotes scarf (exact same one on sale here), Ippolita smokey quartz earrings (beautiful clear ones here) and Balenciaga City Bag in anthracite

I love this coat! It makes me think I should maybe try going for more colorful things when it comes to my wardrobe, most of it is black, white or grey, haha!

Love that bright coat, what a great sale find! :)

Every time I see you with colourful winter wear I think to my dull winter coat wardrobe....but I must be strong and not start buying winter things already...even if all of the winter sales are going on online right now.....haha! :)

You are looking good as always! :)

I would never have been able to articulate such bold colours so eloquently into an outfit as you have - this is just resplendent!

Thank you for your sweet comment, as always.
