I spotted this coat in this month's issue of Company Magazine and, you know when you see something and you're pretty much certain you're gonna buy it?  Yeah, well that happened.  I assume it's not online/in stock yet as magazines usually do that really mean thing of featuring awesome clothes before they are even available, so you spend the next however many weeks of your life looking for one item.  I was actually expecting it to be from the Topshop Unique range, but to my surprise it's only £85 (well, 'only' for Topshop').
Buying a winter coat is just one of them things you have to do every year.  Am I right?  So it can't hurt to be prepared, and maybe save up a little bit... (Just a little.)  The military trend is my favourite for this coming season, so this coat is the perfect choice.  Faux leather items will be the perfect things to team it with.

BLACK JUMPER, METALLIC PLEATED SKIRT & JEWELLERY: TOPSHOP | SPIKE RING: ASOS | SHOES: CONVERSE

I bought this skirt last week in the sale, simply because it was in the sale really, but after getting several compliments on it last week when I wore it for the first time I am much more enthusiastic about it now.  When I put it on this morning I just had a black band tee on and I was going to leave it at that, but I have a tendency to add things to my outfits and before you know it BOOM I have an extra layer on.  I think it paid off as I like the relatively thick jumper with the thing material of the skirt, buuuut I might look back at it next week and think 'Aw maaahn why didn't I just leave it alone?', buuuut I won't, because this outfit is pretty awesome.  I obviously had to keep adding the jewellery, though.  'Ooooh this spike bracelet would look nice with the skirt, and this ring!  Oh and this one!'  Perhaps I was being a bit silly putting the sunglasses on AS WELL, especially because it literally started raining when we finished taking these photos, but I was bringing out the 50 cent/Kanye West/whoever in me and wearing my sunnies at unnecessary times.  I actually got these free with this month's Cosmopolitan magazine and when I first read 'Free pair of sunglasses!' I didn't think I was going to wear them because, er, they were free.  But I actually like these, so take THAT inner-snob.
Am off to eat my favourite meal of the moment: spaghetti bolognaise, (with quorn mince obvs) OM to the NOMMM.  Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!
