FANCY PANTS [COATS + FLARES]


After wearing a tee shirt all week (see the one piece, 5 days, 5 ways challenge for all the low down), I'm so relieved that the weather held out from freezing point until yesterday. I'm rugged up and cozy. Because it was freezing outside and raining (no Melbourne, thank you).


I love this coat. It's cotton and linen and ever so soft. When my mum and step dad visited in winter last year we had this amazing outing at a divine place called Sassafrass where I discovered what is now my favourite little boutique. Now, I know what you're thinking - boutique sounds expensive. But no, this one isn't. And it thrills my soul just a little bit! And because the clothes are a little bit different from what's happening in most of the chain stores, it's like my very own little secret.


In fact, it was so affordable, my mum coaxed me into buying not one coat, but two. And that other coat is pictured here.) Seriously, the best buys ever!

Come to think of it, it's been a while between visits. Perhaps I should make a plan to go by there again soon...


Now I'm weighing up the odds. 

Do you have a shop that's like your little secret, and it sells things are that suit you perfectly?

Why don't you linky up your Fancy Pants post below (yes, you need to have a photo in an outfit!) and add a link back to me in your post. You can also include the button belowThen pop over to visit other bloggers who are dressing up this week.

  7. Oh Kymmie, I LOVE this coat, it suits you so well. You look uber stunning, yet again! Glad you were able to rug up warm after your days of Tshirt wearing.
    I used to have a couple of boutique-y style shops near where I live... similar to what you're referring to, I think. BUT, they both closed down :o( I was pretty devo'd about that too.
    Go on, get yourself along to that little shop, you'll be sorry if you don't go for a peek :o) xo

  17. I sometimes show up in the office with a blazer and denim combo and declare jokingly that that is my "Pippa Middleton" look. You're rocking the Pippa look, Kym.
