I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet as unfortunately the last couple of days I haven’t been feeling very well at all and need to rest. So there’s a quick announcement, I am 6th in the top UK fashion blogs roundup on Vuelio! I can’t believe I am 6th out of the whole country for fashion blogs. Considering there are millions, that’s such an honour. It made my day yesterday, despite feeling really rubbish and attending the doctors.
For this outfit, I chose to wear it a couple of weeks ago for something casual and easy. I’m very much into stripes in navy and white for that nautical theme, and this ONLY Striped Jumper/Sweater is seriously one of the most comfy and cozy pieces! I love how soft it is. Isn’t it pretty? I paired it with my Citizens of Humanity Rocket Crop Jeans in Aura, and my Ted & Muffy Blade Boots in Navy, to really keep the blue and white theme going. I then added in my Loeffler Randall Mini Saddle Bag in Navy to complete the look. Since I felt this was just a bit too much blue, I chose my old Topshop Burgundy Princess Style Coat to inject a little bit of complementing colour, while standing out.
When it comes to location, I feel like this is such a nice background to surround the colours in my outfit. I’ve always had a thing for red, yellow, green, and blue together and with the hues of the bushes and trees in the background, it just adds such a colourful element to the photographs. As always though, please let me know what you think of my outfit on my fashion blog!
What I Was Wearing:

Oh what a great look, such a wonderful outfit! The mix of colors is really nice. I also like the fitting of the jeans and the gorgeous boots. And congratulations for the top ranking – this is no surprise for me at all! Greetings, Thomas
Author
Thank you so much!!
I like this combination very much indeed. 🙂 I’m certainly getting the nautical vibe from it – actually a bit of a pirate captain vibe really what with those boots and the shape and style of the coat. I’m wondering if there’s a bottle of rum in your bag? 😉 The colour of the coat is deliciously amazing! I think it’s a somewhat different burgundy to a lot of other burgundy shades – so much brighter. As always, those jeans look fabulous too. Another terrific outfit all round. 😀
Congratulations on your well earned #6 position. It’s great to see your hard work paying off with such an impressive recognition. 😀
I hope that you feel better soon. 🙂 I too have been feeling miserably ill for the last week or so… On Monday I even phoned into work sick for the first time ever in the 11+ years I’ve been in my present job! Everyone seems to be getting ill one way or another this winter though. 🙁
Author
Thank you, Steven 🙂 So happy you like it! I can see a pirate resemblance there actually too, I get that now that you said it. Although it’s a rather fancy and feminine pirate, ha ha!
I hope you feel better soon as well, being ill is no joke 🙁
Oh my gosh! Congratulations – that is amazing! And wow, this outfit is beautiful. I adore your coat and boots. No wonder you have one of the best fashion blogs in the country. 🙂

Hi Lorna, what a wonderful outfit and what a witty name for it. I love the word play. The jacket is so sexy with those jeans and boots, it makes you look stunning. I do love the coat’s red colour and the coat itself. Do you know if they have this coat for men too in either black or blue? Get well soon!
Author
Thank you! And I don’t think they ever did as it’s a feminine coat. I bought it in 2011 I believe? A very long time ago! I think burgundy would suit you though!
Well, I saw that the coat is called princess coat, so huh?
Cool, that is still good on you. Well, I sure wasn’t expecting burgundy as a good colour for me, but I will try it. You’re the expert!
Author
I think it’s a versatile and pretty colour for most people! Yeah the princess cut refers to the shape of it, as it has a skirt to it from the waist down. Do you know what I mean?
Ah, yes I see. I understand what you mean.
I saw these coats on ASOS:
http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-wool-mix-trench-coat-in-burgundy/prd/7534644?CTARef=Saved%20Items%20Image
http://www.asos.com/new-look/new-look-wool-overcoat-in-navy/prd/7513242?CTARef=Saved%20Items%20Image
http://www.asos.com/pullbear/pullbear-wool-overcoat-in-khaki/prd/7570157?CTARef=Saved%20Items%20Image
I do like most of them, but I feel a bit more inclined to go for either the second or third.
I am think of buying this wellies to go with them: http://www.asos.com/hunter/hunter-original-wellies/prd/7587796?CTAref=Recently+Viewed
What do you reckon?
Author
Definite yes to the wellies, they’re so practical! I like either of those coats actually, burgundy, navy, or green, all three colours are gorgeous!
Ha, I thought so. Well, I will order the wellies. Not sure navy or green are best with them. I also have blue doc martens so I am still deciding if navy is good or that green would work too.
Author
I think green would work well, but navy is more versatile and less ‘welly looking’ if you know what I mean?
Well, not sure if I understand. Do you mean to say the navy is more classy to wear with wellies than the green one or did I misunderstand you?
Author
Navy wellies are more versatile and classy than green wellies.
You sweet thing, take care of your mind and body! :* I wish you the very best you can achieve! May you be blessed and 100% strong and healthy!

Thank you very much!
You look great! I love the striped top.

What a fabulous peacoat/jacket – that ruffle flair, that gorgeous colour. It is challenging to find a winter coat that has a femininity to it (most are cut straight) but this achieves it. Great outfit and thanks for sharing!

Wow Lorna you look incredible! I adore this look on you. The striped top is very chic, and suits you beautifully. The burgundy coat is stunning, and I love the vibrant shade, and the ultra-flattering peplum fit. This is a really classy look, with a lovely playfulness to it as well.
I’m sorry to hear you were feeling unwell at the time of writing this post. I do hope you’re feeling much better now and made a full recovery.
On a positive note, congratulations on coming in 6th in the top UK fashion blogs roundup on Vuelio! That’s a major accomplishment and you deserve it!
Lots of love Saba xx
