1950's Vintage Coat | Blue & Pink | Fake Fabulous

After a hectic Hogmanay celebration, I'm feeling recovered enough to write the first post of 2018.

Happy New Year to you all!

Apologies if you were looking for the #fakeituntilyoumakeit link up on Sunday but I was in full-on party mode and all blogging business was firmly on hold.

I hope you had as much fun on the 31st as I did.

Hogmanay is a BIG celebration in Scotland and it sets you up for the year ahead!

Today I'm still feeling a little delicate so I'm cosying up in a vintage coat.

This blue beauty is from 1958 and you can read all about it HERE.

A vintage piece like this one can do all of the work for you.

Instantly transforming an outfit from forgettable to fabulous with next to no effort!

This coat is so comfortable to wear and it slipped easily over my pink bobble jumper and navy velvet trousers.

The 3/4 sleeve allows a glimpse of what's underneath.

My new sock boots were the perfect partners for this look.

They are so feminine and slender.

Perfect for my slim legs, but great for any shape as they stretch to fit.

{I wore this coat with seriously chunky boots last time.}

After I added my blue cashmere wrap, things were getting a bit too blue so a pop of pink seemed the obvious thing to add to this look!
