So its clear that winter is fast approaching, especially here in Aberdeen... its freezing! Gone are the days of walking to work in short sleeves and flip flops for another year. We're back to layering up again, which i'm not going to lie, i'm a little bit excited about. I mean who doesn't love a chunky knit?
With the cold weather hitting us and me being a fashion student and all, this got me thinking I should probably invest in a winter coat. (I know my mum will probably be reading this rolling her eyes saying 'not another jacket'.) The way I see it, shopping is like doing research. Since its fashion i'm studying its compulsory to shop on a regular basis to keep up to date with the latest trends. This is my theory anyway.
Back to the topic in hand... investing in a winter coat. I like many others, am a great fan of topshop, so of course they were the first place I headed for. Going in with an open mind I had no idea what kind of style I was looking for, so when I saw this one on the mannequin I had to try it on.
I'll admit, its not something I would normally go for... but after trying it on in the store I didn't want to part with it. This may be the warmest, softest coat I have ever put on... its just so comfy.
As the style is quite a baggy fit, it means I can layer up for the really cold days but can still get away with wearing just a t-shirt under it if I wanted. The coat is also perfect for a night out as a cover up, ready for all Christmas parties to come. Plus you can never go wrong with black!
