I bought this coat on sale at Free People this summer, and have been dying to wear it. Today I took it for a spin for the first time ever. It's not really warm, which is fine, and the sleeves are too long for Miss Petite Ashley, which is also going to have to be fine since I don't sew. I'm in love with the pattern. It seems a bit Asian-inspired, which is fun since I like Asians. I think I would like to be Asian, but unfortunately I am not and never will be, so I have to settle for merely dating one instead.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm wearing a gondolier-esque outfit underneath it all. Whoop whoop!
I hope no one is getting bored of all the close-up shots of yours truly. They're easier for me to do than full on body shots (not those kind, thankyouverymuch), plus I kinda like to get pics of my make-up everyday.
And, last but not least, huge props and a shout out to Monica at Monica Rambles for giving me an award! I totally appreciate it, m'dear. Go check out her blog, the posts are always top-notch!

Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via "The Girl Next Door's" blog and just came by to say HI. I also remember one of my readers saying that Ashley's outfits are always so perfectly put together so I was looking all over for your blog.
All I have to say is that I agree a 100% with my reader. You are absolutely amazing.
BTW: I have a huge pendleton bag envy right about now.
Would love to hear from you and for us to stay in touch.
Love from Toronto, Canada
