cardigan - new look, smiths t-shirt - ebay, lace dress & coat - topshopi initially planned to wear this outfit without the t-shirt, and just wear the lace dress and cardigan, but i felt the urge to wear this top. it's super old and i actually wear it to sleep in usually, but i wanted to show my love for morrissey this day. i like how i could just about manage to peek the little peterpan collar of my dress over the top of it.
pictures 1 & 2 demonstrate the annoyingness of the sleeve length of this coat. it'll be fine in spring when i'm wearing short sleeves underneath but when it's still pretty damn cold and i want to wear a cardigan, there's some severe overlapping. oh well, i'll pretend i did it on purpose, like some kind of mega cool layer-er.
these woolen tights kept falling down allll day and frustrated me beyond words. i hate tights that fall down over your arse and you have to keep yanking them up and flashing your bum at people all day!
smiths tee is awesome and love your bag
ReplyDeletesuch a cute outift :) love the peekaboo collar!
ReplyDeleteI really love your outfit!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is amazing. I love the tshirt with the more feminine lace dress as a bottom!
ReplyDeleteI adore this outfit, so very chic! I love the peek of the collar and the layering looks lovely. I have a pair of tights just like that, even in that colour and knit, and they do the exact same thing. Wool tights just aren't stretchy enough! x
ReplyDeleteknow what you mean about the layering-coat-thingy it kinda freaks me out sometimes too and about the tights: also true!
ReplyDeleteanyway,nice outfit, love the lace dress.
I love this outfit, especially the top, an the sleeves look great, not daft ^__^
ReplyDeleteMy tights always do that, but I found a pack of three little black lycra shorts in Primark's underwear section for like £4 so now I wear those over my tights and they don't fall down anymore :)

Love the whole look & that cardigan!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your hair makes me want a pony real bad! xx
The Smiths,love!
ReplyDeleteGreat look.
Random question - do you wear your blog outfits to work? I've recently started a new job in an office and need work outfit inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBtw, yesterday I saw a Meat is murder tee at Urban Outfitters, but it's not quite this one...

That topshop coat is fab...I have that problem with sleeves all the time as I have abnormally long arms! Great smiths tee too, I've got a 'theres a light that never goes out' one :) Tights wise, I got a tip from Gem Fatale's blog that works quite well...get an old pair of tights & cut the legs off (so they're like cycling short length) & wear over the top of your tights. It never fails me! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic outfit. I especially adore it with the morrissey tee, it's a nice twist. And even though the tights super annoying (hehe) love the shade of grey. xx veronika
ReplyDeletetights (and too short sleeves) are super-annoying. But with the tights, if you wear bikini bottoms or underwear over them they'll stay up. Definitely worth it. ; )
ReplyDeletei love your lace skirt! and i really like your layering of the cardigan and coat!

great skirt :)
ReplyDelete♥
I think that the sleeves peaking out from under the coat look really cute, haha. For me I find that coats are just big on me in general and so the sleeves go to my hands. But then again I don't usually need gloves.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is great overall and I love how casual it is despite the lace dress. :)
Gorgeous outfits.

I want that tshirt so bad, Morissey was actually at the night club I was at the other day, missed him by five minutes apparently (my friend was beside him) I was so upset!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit as always x
LOVE the smiths so I love this t-shirt! I had a 'meat is murder' t-shirt once of the album cover but it was a men's size so I readjusted it then it said 'eat is murder' heheh
ReplyDeleteyou look totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteohh I love the little collar peeking out under a tee. x.x.x
ReplyDeleteCasie
Haha, love the last sentence!
ReplyDeleteBut I love your outfit even more!
I actually like the way your coat's sleeve allowed for the cardi's sleeves to peek through, it looks good!
I love your tee, it's awesome, and your shoes too - very sophisticate!

I think every coat I own has a cropped sleeve. I know it's not practical but I think they're lovely and instantly make a coat look more chic. But it may also be something to do with my slight Jackie O obsession... Anyway, lovely outfit, your hair always looks fab.

Amazing outfit! Much love for The Smiths.

I have that coat too, and I totally get what you mean about the sleeves, I had to buy arm warmers but it's worth it, I love the coat and the shoes xx

ReplyDeleteI have this coat. I waited til the sales and got it for £30! Soo happy! I can see what you mean about the sleeves. I'm very short so my arms are quite short too. I find them to be a little on the short size so I have no idea how an incredibly tall person could wear this comfortabley. It looks lovely on you though! I actually quite like how the cardigan juts out.
ReplyDeleteI saw that they had this coat in red too. I'm currently trying to resist buying it!!
Love your blog. Your outfit posts are pristine!

PS. Got there in the end! I kept leaving off that it was me (Bryden) posting and not Claire. I think I need an early night tonight!!
