As suggested by...Bun

I love how this feature has evolved from initially, where my readers suggested I wear something again that they've seen and liked, to now being where my readers send me something of theirs that they think will suit me. It's the very best kind of collaboration! If you have a piece that's needing a new home, that you think will fit in with my wardrobe and personal style, then drop me an email. Next month I could be putting your name in the intro.










The piece in question is this beautiful jacket which my dear friend Bun suggested she send to me as it didn't work for her. The style of it reminds me of one I have already, (see here) and I was therefore quick to accept. The woollen jacket is by British brand Moloh, and fits like a glove thank-you Bun! I love the button cuff detail and the nipped in waist, as well as the colourway. I don't have much red in my wardrobe, so this gives me the chance to bring out some special accessories, such as this Lulu Guinness mini-clutch. You won't believe it, but yes I did find this mint condition piece in a charity shop and have been waiting for the right outfit to showcase it. Best of all, this dear little clutch opens up to reveal a cotton shopper inside! Cute and practical as well as designer - you can't ask for more!

Deatils - jacket: Moloh, skirt: charity shopped, shoes: Debenhams, blouse: Country Rose, tights: Dorothy Perkins, belt: chariy shopped, mini-clutch: Lulu Guinness, necklace: M&S, pink rose ring: gift, pink and silver ring: charity shopped, pink and silver bangle: gift.

  2. What a lovely coat! I adore the shape of it. I also am a fan of that awesome skirt. The clutch is so cute - is a cotton shopper a shopping bag? Is it a separate piece or attached? I have a UK flag sequinned clutch that I have not yet used...must get it out. So very inspiring, Anna!

    1. The shopper is a shopping bag, and it's attached making this such a clever little item. I love that we have these little things stashed away waiting for the right moment!

  3. Anna,

    I like the jacket very much but I really, really love the blouse! I think the outfit works well especially with the pink shoes. What a fab bag, too!

    It really is jacket weather at the moment - roll on some sunshine and warmth...

    I have something for you - I'll email.

    1. Polly has her eye on the blouse too Veronica, and yes, I can understand why. I found it in a new charity shop in Harrogate which was like a real Aladdin's Cave, so very exciting! I think next year I may have to take a Sherpa with me to carry everything.

      Such a cutting North wind here too - not funny for my morning dip!

  5. Your Mary Jane style shoes are so lovely. I can't believe the high heel is comfy for you!
    How fun to receive the happy plaid coat! It fits you beautiful and I'm sure has found its true home!
    That blouse is a truly vibrant and unique print. The flowers look like zinnias!!

    1. Truth be known Jude, I did spend the entire day upstairs at my desk which was just as well because these aren't the most comfortable of shoes. Sometimes you have to suffer for your art!

      The blouse was a great find, although I'm no gardener so haven't a clue as to the flowers - if you say zinnias then I'll go with that x

      Have a fab weekend x
