And now, an item I will quite possibly never wear despite working on it on and off for about four months. This is Simplicity 1254 by Leanne Marshall. It is made in a stunning vintage textured cream wool and is fully lined in a flannel-backed satin. (So if I ever do wear it, I’l be warm.) It has a lapped separating zipper in the center front. The button is decorative and covers a large fabric-covered hook & eye that was originally white, but I dyed it cream using tea.
I liked this coat in theory instantly, but my gut told me it’d be a stretch for my “stick to the basics” wardrobe. I should’ve listened to my gut because last time I checked I am not Olivia Pope (and I’m quite sure only she can pull off a collar this big).
Did I mention that it’s 60 degrees outside right now?!?
