Outfit

P1170190 Hi everyone. As you can see I could not resist purchasing the beautiful mulberry coloured coat from my last post. I love this beautiful shade so much and I've never had anything quite like it before. It's a little darker than my usual shade but I'm really enjoying pretty jewel tones at the moment. It's the same coat I have in pale blue which I received for my birthday so now I have the same coat in more than one colour; that's testament to how much I adore my birthday gift. I also like the design with the shorter length and bold buttons. I know I'll be getting so much use from these coats, I certainly have already. The flower hair clip is my favourite hair piece at the moment. I love the design and it's also easy to use since the flowers are attached to a hair comb. I'm think of attaching many of my existing hair flowers to hair combs or making my own because it is much more convenient than the clips usually sold in the shops. I thought the golden flats would add a touch of colour and sparkle to the outfit. These are one of a few pairs of Marc by Marc Jacobs flats which I own. They are the most comfortable shoes ever and I love how brightness of the gold. I also like having a pair of the logo flats in addition to the mouse flats.

Tomorrow my husband will be leaving for a two and a half week family trip overseas. The main reason I'm not coming is because, in addition to it being difficult to get the time off work, I cannot get on a plane. I struggle with a lot of forms of transport including planes, buses on motor ways and express trains. There is just no way I could spend multiple hours on a plane. I haven't been on a plane for five years and even then I have only traveled on 1.5 hour flights but these days I wouldn't even do that. I feel sad that I'm missing out on yet another experience that the family will have together. My whole life I've felt different to others and have missed out on so many opportunities because of various anxieties. It makes me feel terrible about myself. While they are away my day to day life probably won't be that different because I spend most of my time at work anyway. The last time my husband went away a number of years ago I completely fell apart but this time I'll have a lot less free time to think about the situation. The key is to keep busy; I will probably spend lots of time on my blog so I don't get lonely. Also, my photographer will be away so that will make outfit posts less frequent. But hopefully I can convince my sister to take a set of pictures for me this weekend. My sister is coming to stay on the weekend and I really appreciate the company and something to look forward to at a time where I would otherwise feel sad.

Imogen, this coat really is pretty on you ♡

I too had anxieties with flying... then when I got my current job I had to fly back and forth each week for 6 weeks to another province. I don't love flying but I can do it now. I also had a debilitating fear of heights, I faced those fears by walking over the bridge here a few times. Was it easy Imogen? No... it wasn't but I faced the fear when I never thought I could... I know that one day you can get there too. I so wish I lived near you... I'd come by to help and encourage you to face some of those fears. I have faith in you xox ♡

Cute as a button! I love the deep red coat combined with the black and white dress! Such a classy combo! And you're right, the golden flats add a dash of glamour, just as the flowers in your hair do too! Love this whole outfit on you! :)

laura said...

That is the loveliest coloured coat!

Kati said...

So good you bought the coat - it is sooo stunning! The colour is just perfect, really, and so is the cut. The golden flats are a great combo!

You look adorable, love the coat :) I try and read a book or listen to music to distract me when I fly, sleeping is always impossible for me, so those are a great help :) xx

I loved your coat, the color of the year :) I liked the polka dot bag very much too, and the flowers in your hair! Well, all so gorgeous, like you! Count on your readers for feeling cared, so write as many posts as you want, it does help! Good that your sister is going to spend time with you! And your husband will be with his family, so he will be fine. I tell you something... I don't like planes either, so don't feel that terrible about yourself, many people are this way... but you are right, places you may want to know, the fastest way is flying, unfortunately (I wanted teletransport, I tell you!) I am now in South America studying for some months, and the flight from the UK takes 12 hours. It's horrific, I hate it, but... it's for me what's more important - knowing places or my plane fear. Don't take me wrong, please - by no means I am saying something bad about your anxiety. I totally respect it. I have many other fears as well, and one of them is even worse than the plane one :) I hope you have a nice time during these weeks, even without your husband - you can have a spa day for you, it's good!

Oh I'm glad you got that coat - that colour is lovely on you and the deeper jewel tone is great for winter weather! :)

Plus your dress - my sister has the same one! It's so beautiful! She got hers from Dotti to wear to a work dinner earlier in the year - hers was the mint shade, but she considered the black one for a while! :)


Hopefully you don't miss your hubby too much while he is away = it's great you have your sister for company! I don't like flying either, but I am lucky that I can still do it when I have to and it's not a fear or anxiety, it's just that I don't like it! A colleague at work gets really nervous when he flies - and so he takes some of his wife's medication to help him, haha! It works for him though. If you really did want to try a flight one day, your doctor might be able to help :)

FASHION TALES said...

I think when you find a style that you absolutely love, then why not buy it in a different colour? I know that I've done that several times. Your coat is gorgeous on you. Thanks very much for your lovely comment this week. I hope that your concern with flying gets better soon. ((hugs)) <3

I am loving the color of this coat. Also, I wish my hair would cooperate as well as yours. Any time I try to do a sock bun, my hair always falls out of the bun before I even get a chance to pin it in place.

That coat is even more beautiful in this color and so is that hair accessory! I hate it when my man is away, but you're right, the best thing to do is keep busy! Hope these weeks will pass fast for you!

It's really sad to hear that you can't join your family in this trip, sometimes life gives us lemons indeed. Hopefully, you will spend your time sensibly too.
Regarding your outfit I must say that you look pretty and feminine as always. Your hairdo, lovely hair bun decorated with flowers just wins a special praise!
Take care!

I hope you will be fine while your husband is away! You shouldn't be too hard on yourself, it's understandable that things like flying can make people anxious!
