New Trend Alert: Maxi, Duster, Boyfriend Coats

Paris Fashion Week is portraying the long lasting trend of maxi coats, duster jackets and boyfriend coats, shown on the runway by Chloe, Maison Rabih Kayrouz  and Christian Dior.



Chloe








 Maison Rabih Kayrouz




Christian Dior






 For those of us who can't afford runway prices, I took the liberty of finding us some alternatives for  a much better price. Bear in mind that coats are always expensive, so even though these alternatives aren't £20 and under, they are good quality and perfect to spruce up that outfit.

OOTD Featuring Primark

Even though English weather is terrible, it does have the occasionally day where it's slightly sunny. Today was one of those rare days - it was sunny for half an hour. I took the opportunity and dressed like it was spring (hey! Don't judge, I love wearing shorts!)



Outfit



















































Choker







Bag




















Shoes






Parental Advisory Jumper
H&M - (It's no longer in stock, but if you're willing to splurge, Alexander Wang sell a grey one with mesh panels for £374.85)

As soon as I saw this jumper in the Heerlen H&M last summer, I loved it. Personally, I like my jumpers baggy because I love comfort. I tried on a small when I was over in Holland (I'm a size 8/10 in jumpers) and it fit perfectly. However, I didn't buy it. A few months later, my best friend bought it me in the medium (she knows me too well) and it's one of my most prized jumpers.

H&M - £12.99 (On Sale!)

I also saw this shorts in the Heerlen H&M and loved them. I've always wanted some leather shorts and these were perfect, the elasticated waist, pockets. Everything I could want in some shorts. They're a size small which is a size 10-12 on the H&M website. I'm a size 10 when it comes to trousers/jeans/shorts and these fit really well. However, if you love pigging out on food like me, they may become a bit tighter - believe me, it's happened to me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform Boots
H&M - £29.99

These boots are yet another thing that I found and purchased in Heerlen. I bought a size 6 (because I'm a size 5.5 which is very awkward). The size 5 were ok, but I knew that if I walked around in them for too long, my toes would squash and it would hurt. A lot. The size 6 were slightly too big but I liked the boots too much to just not buy them. So when I wear the boots, I just wear an extra pair of socks and it works wonders.

My Neighbour Totoro Tights
I bought these tights at London Comic Con last October

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faux Fur Leather Coat
River Island - £85 (No longer in stock but you can find a similar one here)
I love this coat. It's warm and just brilliant. It's a size 12 (I'm normally a size 10 for coats, but I thought that the size 12 fit better)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grey Small Satchel
Primark - £8

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

90s Tattoo Choker Necklace
Asos - £4
