I woke up this morning with a groove in my heart and so I decided that I care about being fashionable again. This is a bit like my old Miss Cross outfit, updated with a sprinkle of Scarlett O'Hara thrown in, mostly because this skirt spectacularly resembles a curtain. Then I decided I didn't look quite frumpy enough and paired the skirt with argyle tights and crocodile Doc Martens. Frumptasticness achieved!
Also, I know I've posted it before but whenever I put this coat on it's like a stick of dynamite goes off and BOOM! instant glamour is achieved. The leopard (maybe ocelot?) fur paired with a dark lipstick makes me feel like an Old Hollywood movie star who wears pin curls and smokes and says "dahhh-ling." Also, how cute is the bottom of the curtain skirt peeking out beneath the coat like a petticoat? Adorable.
I think it's only appropriate to replace the lyrics of Elton John's Crocodile Rock to "crocodile Docs," don't you?

oh my god. I die. that skirt is PERFECT peeking out of the coat. so so good.
I am SO very glad you are still posting.
I follow you because I don't like everything you wear. Fashion should not rely on the quality of your camera and the money you spend.
Ingenuity, thrifting and weirdness are attributes that should be encouraged. Please keep blogging my dear!
Independent media needs your flavour.
You definitely look like an old hollywood moviestar.
Glad you're still posting, that skirt is amazing!
Oh, I love those boots!
That coat is AMAZING. WOW. I agree about the skirt peeking out under it, too: it is like a petticoat! So awesome!

Coat is obviously perfectness in coat form. As is the hem poking out! I like this outfit very much. :D
A clear, independent mind with a sense of humour - that is my impression when looking at this outfit.

PS. The price of independence is distancing oneself from insider status; the price of being an insider is forgoing indepence?
that coat is perfection. i need one like it one day.
that's really pretty coming out under the coat, very pretty indeed. Don't see argyle tights as equalling frumpy, they match your jumper anyway!
the skirt literally took my breath away. it is INCREDIBLE. and the way the hem peeks out from under your coat! applause for you, my dear.
them tights is nice, awfully nice flow to your blog.
Your crocodile docs are out of siiiiIiIIiIight.
I loooooooooove your curtain skirt.
Hiya Isabel

loving you

Absolutely love the way the coat looks on top of the skirt. Without the coat, the outfit kind of has a grey gradient. Nice.
looooove the coat!

That is a pretty glorious coat I have to say. And the matching boots/song made me laugh.. awesome.
oh god, elton john back then was (and still is) impeccable.
btw, happy belated birthday!
i can't tell you how relieved I am you decided to continue blogging. This outfit is the best I've seen all day. I especially love the skirt paired with the argyles and doc martins.
hello there, I hope this isn't too off-topic, but I couldn't help noticing you mentioned writing a thesis for university in your last post. As someone who has just 'discovered' your blog, I'm curious: what's the thesis on?
This is bloody brilliant. Your outfits are contanstly inspiring in their originality and slight strangeness. Like pretty much everyone else who has commented so far, I'm glad you're back!
Ohhh, so gorgeous!!
XO,
