Pure Silk

My new spring coat. I was looking for a long tailored jacket that I could wear as a spring coat over my clothes. I also wanted to wear it over some fancy party dresses, because the weather in the Netherlands is never quite what you expect. You can wear this over almost every knee length dress, without destroying the style of the dress.

I found this coat in a second hand shop, it was officially a bridal coat. It was a very beautiful ankle length, long coat to wear over a bridal dress. I loved the beautiful lines and the slim-waisted model in the coat and it is made of such pure silk that I had to buy it. I made it shorter so I can wear it as an everyday chic tailored jacket. Today I made a combination with a high waist jeans and a black basic top. I also wear heels, but for an more casual look I like to wear some white, soft, leather, subtile, low sneakers.

The basic top I'm wearing is from Steps. I love their basic tops because it's made of a cotton mix with modal and elastan which stays black better than any other basic tops I've ever tried. Only I wish they made a V-neck because that would make my face look thinner.
