This is quite a unique outfit overall for me as each piece is a bit of a classic: classic raincoat, classic jeans, classic heels, classic polka dots.
I was sent the jeans by ASOS to review just before the launch of their new denim range – and boy did they fit beautifully! I had the choice of skinnies or skinny flares, so as I have loads of skinnies I chose the latter. Just the right amount of skinniness and flariness (flaryness?!) with a great fit on both the hips and waist, which isn’t bad for a £32 pair of jeans. I normally have terrible problems finding jeans that fit me properly so I was well happy.
Happy Hump Day everyone π

As always, they're wonderful on you! Such an easy outfit, class all the way, young lady. Pop over, please, if you get a chance, to see my "avatar" in her strips and polka dots. Three is definitely my limit!
Beautiful. And yes, classic (classy works too). Great jeans…love the black/white polka dot with the camel overcoat and denims. Love your smile (it just reaches your eyes) in the last photo…. Lynaea @ EverydayBloom.com
Nice review for Asos jeans =) You look good in that jeans actually. Your raincoat is definitely gorgeous! =)
I just stumbled upon your blog and I happened to notice that in yourabout me section you mention that you`re over 40… and I don`t see how that could possibly be! You look so young! {And seem to have less gray than I do in my 20s, which I`m very envious of, I must say ;)} This is beautiful classic ensemble – I love the pairing of your trench and polkadot blazer, and your flared jeans are a wonderful finishing touch.

Those jeans look great on you! And wow, your hair with the sun behind it like that? Stunning.
The day I discovered ASOS was a great day indeed. I love this classic look! It's fantastic!

Polka dots and a classic trench…Definitely two of my faves!
Such a great look! Perfectly classic yet perfectly modern. Polka dots are an all time favorite of mine.

I could happily recreate this entire outfit from head to toe, it really is lovely and classic, much like I would dress. Nice styling!

I love this look! Polka dots are always my favorite print and the trench is a great classic piece that can be dressed up or down. And it's always nice to find great fitting jeans. I love ASOS clothes! <3

I wore a very similar outfit on my very first date with my partner. Apparently my polka dot blouse is one of the only things I own that he doesn't like! (The other is a western style shirt. I gather his years in Texas left him somewhat averse to the fashion.) He liked me enough to overlook it, and I like him enough to overlook the fact that he can't see the beauty in polka dots.
Here's the outfit:

Classic and chic perfection! Yes I lovee the fit of those jeans and their wash and flared shape is also perfect π
Take care,

Oh I love that classic look!
I am currently thinking about getting my first flared jeans! On the website it says "low rise" but on your photos it doesn't seem to be. I prefer normal rather then low.

Love the polka dots!
Very chic. You always have great photos.
I also have trouble finding jeans and usually have to get mine taken in at the waist because I have a very small waist compared to the rest of me π
Not Going Out Like That
Super cute! Love how the jeans make the trench coat a tad bit more casual (in a good way!)
