SCHIZOPHRENIC//The Coatigan

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Is it a coat?...Is it a cardigan?... No it's the coatigan!
Meet the mixed breed... the coatigan is like the love child of your fail safe coat fused with your trusty cardigan.

It is as if the humble cardigan were on fashion steroids.

The cardigan erroneously synonymous with sweet brogue wearing librarians has had a face lift and is now commanding major attention.

It is perfect for days when it's not quite cold enough for a coat but a tad too chilly for just a cardigan.

Designers as usual, knew just what we needed before we even made sense of our musings.

There is a coatigan from an array of designers to suit a variety of tastes. From the king of the conceptually dark chic, Rick Owens right through to the purveyor of refined understated sexy,Stella McCartney.

I was shopping online for a client at NET-A-PORTER
and fell in lust with a host of them! Trust me there are amazing ones on there,visit the site's knit section for a drool filled time.

I will be wearing my coatigan with thigh high grazing boots and a strong satchel type bag.


Will you be wearing this new breed? If so,how?
Kisses,
Marian.

Happy Monday, sweet as always Marian;)

I´m in love with these COATIGAN ;)
They are looking so supercozy I would wear them
with Lanvin ballerinas (bare-footed in winter ;), skinny jeans and a simple tee, some accessoires a-la-do-it-like-Marian!

GOOD NIGHT KISSES & SWEET DREAMS!!!
