Today I was inspired by the man coat in this Pinterest. Like Diane G, this is my first Pinterest inspired look. I have been wanting to wear my old 80's oversized man coat but it isn't terribly warm. Today's warmer weather seemed like the perfect day to try it out. (Felix, my black cat seemed interested in checking out the good weather too). I wish I had the cute little oxfords like the Pin so I will put those on my wish list. The scarves in the pics are old scarves that I "acquired" from my dad so I liked their male influence. I tried the red and black one first but decided on the cream and black one. I thought color would be good, like the PIN, but after seeing the pics the softer colors seemed better. I had to walk the dogs first and it was raining so I first put on these Merrell galoshes. They reminded me of the old rubber galoshes that my dad used to wear over his shoes. After dog walking I did some Christmas shopping so I wore these old high heeled loafers. Does anybody wear these anymore? I thought they looked pretty good and gave me some more height that was helpful with the oversized coat. I felt happy in this outfit though I have been steering away from black. Does the cream soften it up enough. Should I continue to hang onto this coat or is it too outdated? Note:These are pre make up and hair.
