My coat saga and a couple of buys!

Well as you know last week I brought the camel coat from New Look which was in my previous post. I wore it Monday to work and had a few compliments about it but when I got home that night I noticed that one of the buttons had fell off so as there was a spare one I sewed that on...sorted or so I thought!

Tuesday I wore said coat again and as I put it on another button fell off in my hand and then another fell off!!! Don't get me wrong it was only £35 so you do get what you pay for but still I don't think this should happen. Plus I noticed that after wearing it once the material looked in bad condition. Yesterday I took it back to New Look and they gave me a refund and I decided to have a browse around and ended up buying another coat in H&M.

I brought this red military style coat which fits really well and red does really suit me. It was more expensive at £50.00 but its a much nicer coat and the material is really nice.
I think the photo makes it look cheap but its a much nicer red in reality.




















I also took back the H&M pink ribbed knitted tunic as after trying it on again I decided I was not as keen so therefore I exchanged it for this longline pink tunic from H&M which fits so much nicer. It is long enough to wear as a dress with tights or wear it over jeggings/leggings. I also love the colour too.





















Then I brought this purple headband from Primark, this is to wear with the purple dress below for my works black tie christmas party.





















This is so flattering.






















I love the frill under the skirt it looks such a pretty dress.

  9. Lovely party dress. I've been looking for one myself (which I just posted about) I love the colour purple for a party dress.
    It's a shame about the camel coat, but then I love the military style one too.
