A Lovely Harbor

Who wouldn't want a piece of clothing that each day

wished you health, strength, and wealth?

I knew I did as soon as I saw this sunny little message

on the label of this vintage coat at Value Village.

Here is a list of the all of the reasons I ADORE this coat:

- It is in PRISTINE condition

- The $8 price tag

- The bright pumpkin orange color

- The interior is white and orange gingham

- The cream and gold trimmed buttons

- The adorable way the sleeves cinch tight

- The wide collar and lapel

- The side slits

- The cream colored stitching against the orange

-The sturdy broad cloth it is made out of

and 

(I didn't get a picture of this)

- The strange, but fantastic, wrist rests on the inside of the coat!

(I am not sure that is their designed intention 

but that is what I use them for. 

Well, that and as a wrist rest for texting 

because you know how

tired your wrists get holding that

cell phone while texting.)

I thought this outfit was a repeat and so I didn't take any pictures

of it by itself. I seriously cannot believe that it wasn't ever 

photographed since I practically lived in this tunic last winter.

Okay not really, but it was one of my absolute favorite tunics

to wear. I love it because it is thin enough to be worn over

a light sweater or a t-shirt so it makes it the perfect transitional

item to have in my wardrobe. 

I purchased it from ASOS

last December on a terrific sale and I have been happy 

with it from the first moment I pulled it out of the box.

It has a multicolored feather image on the front with

a rough leather tie hanging down the front and

at the end of the tie are two feathers.

I love the modern edge to it

but there is also something

vintage about it to me.

I chose to pair the tunic with skinny leggings and python print heels.
