…followed me home yesterday. It’s a keeper for sure. Thanks Angie for getting me to look in Cos for hot pink!

The material is lush and the colour intense. More redness to it than the classic Schiaparelli pink I usually wear. The hood design is very neat. It does more or less what I want it to with some pieces, was a pleasant surprise with others, and, it has to be said, is totally unsuccessful in what it’s supposed to do.

You see, this piece does not sit well inside a coat. There is too much filling in the back panel for it to lie flat, so unless the look you are going for is Quasimodo, you will want to wear on top of your topper, where it looks like a very fetching life preserver.

I love it. I wore it today with oversized joggers and a favorite vintage blazer. Also shown, a quick trial with a graphic print and a frog purse. I think I might prefer both of these with the green joggers.

Mr Edge is doubtful. I said nothing about the slippers. Comments and styling ideas are welcome.
