Some of you may have heard of Rag&Bow, I'll forgive you if a lot of you haven't. Rag&Bow is a "roaming vintage pop up stall" ran by a woman named Hazel Holtham. Last Saturday I attended her pop-up boutique in Kensal Rise, the place wasn't exactly large or the greatest vintage stall on Earth, but I don't think it claims to be. Hazel prides herself on finding fashion-forward (if you can call vintage forward) clothing at affordable prices. And boy, was my find an affordable one.
As I skimmed through the rails, a mid-calf length military green coat caught my eye, now I've seen one that is SENSATIONAL in River Island. But that's where the fantasy stops, because a student's loan cannot stretch to (I believe it's) £90. I will check that though as it's not actually on sale at the moment and different publications have it priced differently.
Anyway, I traipsed upstairs to don this magnificent coat, and it fits, like a glove. The price? £18. I know. Bargain. So on current trend with utility and midi-length, this coat isn't bulky nor so thin that it won't keep me warm.
Today I teamed it with my flat tan moccasins (£20 KG sale), black tights and a black ensemble of a long tee and bodycon mini underneath. A New Look tan satchel, New Look wooden beads and a Warehouse tan cuff helped to bring the look together. In order for me NOT to look like I was enjoying channelling 'Granny Chic', I left the coat open and belted it with a skinny tan belt from Primark (£1) so that it still gave me SOME kinda shape.
Until later -x
