Pink Coat, Cheap Monday Skinnies, Holographic Boohoo Boots

jeans: Cheap Monday via Sojeans - pink coat: c/o Dresslily, marked down to just 28€!!! - holographic platform boots: c/o Boohoo - floral sweater: thrifted

First round of conducting surveys went well! It was kind of crazy being back in a high school, smelling those familiar canteen smells (salty, greasy), hearing the voices of kids echo through the tiled hallways, watching the young teens drag around enormous backpacks... It felt like no time had passed at all since I was a lanky 13 year old trying not to let anyone notice my awkwardness. Somewhere during the day, the idea dawned on me that teaching would be a totally awesome back-up plan if all of this researcher/academia stuff doesn't pan out.

ANYWAY, about the outfit! It's filled with some absolute steals (22€ Cheap Monday skinnies marked down from 55€, 28€ pink winter coat marked down from 47€) and some items that are just too amazing to pass up on (the holographic Boohoo platform boots).

I have been totally ridiculously spoiled when it comes to coats lately. First, I find a classic white winter coat, then I run into a gorgeous oversized, long grey coat and now here I am strutting my stuff in this pink baby that was marked down to just 28€!!! I ordered it three weeks ago so if you're quick, there will still be plenty of cold days to rock your new pink coat.

I was unsure about whether or not I needed a pink coat before because, yeah, they are fabulous and everyone looks amazing in them (case in point) but they aren't exactly a classic ya know. But the pink, man. The pink kept calling me. It is still my favourite colour after all, despite my recent propensity to dress in grey and black. So when I got an email from Dresslily asking me whether I'd be interested in reviewing their webshop, and I spotted this particular watermelon/coral/pink coat, I was like yeah OK this is the sartorial gods telling me I should just take the pink plunge (haha that sounds so gross). Mine is a size large, but a medium would have been fine as well.

I've got nothing but good words about Dresslily btw: some absolute steals to be found, among which a lot of items that are also sold on Ebay which might interest you Ebay-phobes (yeah, I know you're out there). You get a tracking code when you order so you don't have to worry about your package getting lost during the couple of weeks it takes for your items to journey the world, and you're dealing with a real webshop rather than an individual seller so that might feel more secure to you.

And you know you want the boots. Seriously, don't try to deny it. Btw they also have holographic gladiator sandals with a slightly lower heel. YES

I know it's hard, but you have to pick. Boots or coat, which tickles your fancy the most?

PS sorry for making this post so long. I do tend to ramble on.
