'70s Inspired Fit and Flare Coat




no brand tights with fleece lining inside ,

Love, love, love this '70s inspired coat, as the color (chestnut) and design are a relief from the boring standard black winter coat.  Funnel neck with button fastening and belt to the waist gives extra warmth and detail.  Puffed shoulders and pockets add to unique design.  Fit and Flare style and above knee length add fabric movement. (Got this in size 2 and had to hem the sleeves about  1 ½ inches Length was perfect.  Hem if length falls below knee, so to accentuate legs).  Black tights with fleece lining inside gives extra warmth and provides contrast to coat's color.  And luckily, I have these amazingly comfortable 3 ½ inches ankle boots to match! The shoe is narrow but because I had the tights I didn’t have to wear socks to add bulk in shoe.  What am I wearing under the coat for warmth?  Layering is the key, check out my Layering 101 article.

PS- As this is my first shoot, I was anxious the past night and wasn’t able sleep much due to contemplating- Must I really do this? I forgot my leather gloves which are of course a must in winter. Pick gloves that fit right (snug locks in more warmth) with a warm fabric lining inside like fleece for additional warmth.
