Leopard coat

Well, a leopard might not be able to change its spots but I can certainly change my mind (like you wouldn’t believe!).

When this coat arrived via my latest  Topshop online order I must have played dress up in it at least 15 times before deciding  it was a bit on the small side (can’t quite move my arms freely in it and as a militant pedestrian* I like to be able to gesticulate at drivers that do silly things like stopping in the middle of crossing areas etc).

It’ll be returned and I’ll have a look for it in a bigger size as it’s got just the right vintage feel (have been looking for a coat like this for the last few years).

I’m in no rush though as the weather has taken a surprising turn for the better here in Glasgow and we’re currently enjoying that Indian summer we’re promised every year – happy days!

Have a great weekend - hope the sun’s shining where you are.

    @Amis in Ascot – will look forward to seeing that pic! No, didn’t buy the swimsuit in the end. Could still do a complete head-to-toe leopard look though – I have underwear, tights, dress, raincoat, shoes, bag, umbrella, necklace and ear-rings! Would look a bit mad I think! xx

    I love how the weather has drastically improved this last week! I think the coat looks good: it’ll be great to have when it gets really cold.

    I love your coat! I bought a leopard print coat from Motel last year and couldn’t be happier – it’s the perfect thing to throw on over a ‘boring’ or colorless outfit to spruce it up. Also, Indian summer, yay!

    Oh that’s such a fun, glam coat. Hope you track it down in a bigger size.

    I hope they do have it in the right size because the coat looks GREAT on you, Sarah! With a coat like this you can comfortably say: ‘Let the autumnal days roll on.’ xo
