Challenge day 26 : Wear a bold coat with simple essentials.

I have managed to get to Day 26 without worrying that I don’t own the item needed…until today. I don’t own a bold coat because they just aren’t my cup of tea. I can’t remember when I last owned a bright coloured coat ( maybe when I had a bright red one at about 7yr old) so my heart sank when I saw this challenge, should I borrow, beg or steal one! No because then it would not be my style or my interpretation of the challenge. So then with a light bulb moment I realised that bold doe’s not have to be colourful, patterned or with bells on but it could be bold for its shape. The perfect example of this is a Vivienne Westwood ( I like Vivienne Westwood coats) that I have had for a good few years now and it is asymmetrical and unusual in its draping. It is basically like a big snuggle from a huge blanket and when I first got it I wore it to death. It is a comfortable hug of a coat and even with the temperatures rising ( slightly) it is very lightweight and easy to wear.
I have teamed this coat with simple essentials as the challenge requests so my new “mom” jeans and converse were the obvious choice.
Do you own bold coat?  If so, please tell me about it.

Which has been your favourite challenge so far? I think mine is Wear the item that you have been “saving”, Simple and classic .

Have a great day

Take care
