Colour me purple

You know my love for purple, and my penchant for second-hand coats.

Ok ok, so I got another coat! Hey, we have wardrobes full of multiple items of everything else, so why not coats, especially in a cold climate where it can get depressing wearing the same one for half the year?

This one was $14.99 at Value Village - which by the way has NOT been bought by Wal-Mart (a rumour I've heard swirling around thrifting circles).

It's belted, and made of a lush wool-cashmere. Looks hardly worn!

My style may be funky bohemian and may very well change like the wind, but I love the classic-cut belted coat.

It can look good with absolutely anything.

I can wear the belt around my waist or wear it low, with the coat open, for more of a runway look.

Thanks to my unofficial photographer Antonella!
