And another goodbye!

Out with the old...
Yes, not only did I buy a new cardigan yesterday (70% off), I also bought a new coat. For the first time in forever I bought a new winter coat! Up to now I always wore the jackets/coats I was given as part of my uniform. And during the past four years I wore the very first one I got as a bus driver in Midnet Tours. That was in 1999! 

... and in with the new!
The coat is still looking good, but it's not up to par for Norwegian conditions. Plus I wanted a new coat. One that looks just a bit funkier than the one I use now. Finding one in the sales was brilliant. Shame it didn't come in a brighter colour like pink or orange or yellow, but it came with a great discount (40%). And I can always brighten it up with my pink scarf and my orange hat.

  1. Very pretty coat ! Be happy that you couldn't find one in orange, everybody would have taken you for a street worker, lol !

  2. Excellent choice. I love the new 'quilted' look of coats out now. I bought a similar styled new one in the fall. It is kinda of taupe colore or mocha and water residtant

    1. It only said 30%, but the lady in the store said it was 40! Who am I to argue...

  6. Crikey Mara ..... you're going to look super swish in that, aye?? I like that you can add whatever colour you like to brighten it up. Every time you wear it you can look as if it's a new coat.
