A Wardrobe Classic
Do you have timeless pieces in your wardrobe that you feel good wearing year after year?
For me one of those pieces is this camel coat I bought from Laura Ashley at least 6 years ago. It's a timeless colour and style which looks good dressed up for a night out or with jeans.
The great thing about a nice coat or jacket is that it hides the fact that you're wearing a faded old top underneath which may or may not have toothpaste on it from brushing your children's teeth*
Most importantly it works with my favourite scarf which is almost 15 years old - but quality lasts! Gee, I didn't realise how long I'd had it until just now!
What is your favourite timeless piece?
* Yes, I had toothpaste on my top. Hey, that's Mama real life!
Thank you so much Vanessa!

I agree! With everything!! Paying a little more for a timeless piece is so worth it in the long run! A coat is a great way to hide a mama/kid shirt too!

Thank you so much Ruth! It's always handy to be able to disguise stains when you don't have time to change!!! X Allison
ReplyDeleteSuch a classic look! My black jeans are probably my favourite timeless piece, although I'm sure they'll wear out from overuse one day! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, black jeans are also a good one Di! Thanks for reading! x Allison
DeleteI love the toothpaste! Gotta keep it real. I think this coat is amazing on you. I love seeing all your tall girl outfits. Loads of inspiration for me. Bron x
