Date Night Fur & A Statement Necklace


I wore this outfit to celebrate our wedding anniversary when we went out for sushi last week…. I have mixed feelings about this outfit however (hear me out)!

I do love it for its sartorial merits, but on the other hand it reminds me of how much I ate and how full I was afterwards – to the point of feeling ill. It was my own fault, I know, but when all those tasty little dishes are going round on the conveyor belt and you keep seeing more and more that you want to try, then my eyes get seriously bigger than my belly.

Actually that’s not true – the resulting food baby was mahoosive. The size of Wales in fact. Serves me right for being such a gannet 😉

But clothes-wise, I’m still in love with my new-this-winter fur/leather/tweed coat, and I do love the statement necklace under the floral shirt collar – together they make a basic, thrifted men’s sweater look extra special. And I’m glad I wore stretchy pants.

Happy Tuesday everyone, hope you’re all well!
