70s coat WIW

I feel I haven't gotten dressed in ages... Well, here is from a nice autumn day some weeks ago. I am wearing my vintage fur coat, and the H&M twill trousers (jeans) that I got in ecru as well as red. Love the high waist! I call this my "70s anti-pornographer-protestor" outfit.
Thanks for looking!

This is great! You are so good at combining neutrals in interesting ways. The sweeping long coat is very you, as are the great poses.

About you not getting dressed in weeks. That sounds chilly, lol. But seriously, can you set your excellent thrifting skills to the task of finding things that are easy to pull on and wear in your daily life? Maybe run a mini brainstorming session first to see what that would look like?

Hehe, I mean not dressed in actual clothes.. like, not worn out sweatpants. I realize this isn't exceptionally dressed up either, but it is to me! I even accessorized! Thanks for your always considerate and uplifting comments, SF.

Ooh, this is gorgeous! The grey-cream combo is so beautiful and elegant on you. It’s kind of dramatic, too. Love the vintage vibe.

I knew what you meant, just always am amused, in my warped way, when I hear the expression used that way.

What would “you” house clothes look like? There are lots of kinds of sweatpants (joggers) out there, you know. Or a long skirt—didn’t you post about this once, and have a laugh at falling down steps in a hobble skirt?

Then again, maybe the problem isn’t not having the clothes to “get dressed”. If it’s the lack of time to yourself to play, we can’t help with that :/

Synne - you look stunning and the pants are a beautiful fit. I love how you have lifted the grey knit and coat with the addition of your green jewellery. Nobody wears soft neutrals as well as you, you look sophisticated, glamorous and cool all at the same time.

That coat looks so luxe. beautiful colour mix. I knew exactly what you meant when you said you felt like you hadn't got dressed in ages. I"m looking forward to going back to work just so I can wear my clothes again.

Super! Love the texture, hairstyle and the soothing colour combo!

Really stunning! Your hair looks all kinds of fabulous too.

And I like your comparison. I just saw the movie “Misbehaviour” (set in 1970 in the context of protests against the Miss World pageant). Your coat would be right at home among the protesters.
