Coat

Coat - Isabel Marant Étoile, Ballerinas - A.P.C., Bag, Chanel

I think it is always difficult to find the perfect coat, the fabric, thickness of the fabric, the cut, the detailing, length. I would love to have a coat made specially to my measurements and my choice of design. 

I like the look of a mixture of a pea coat and a military coat. 

The thing that I find irritating about coats is their collars. As I am petite I feel they overtake my neck and become the focus of the coat. 

It has taken me around 2 months (maybe more actually) to make a decision wether to actually purchase this one by Isabel Marant. I like the way it is collarless due to my problem and the styling is exactly what I have been looking for. My only worry was the length as it may be too long for me. It is quite long, just above my knee, compared to the lucky model where it was mid knee. But I like it! I think it fits me right and if it was any shorter I would feel slightly too exposed (and maybe chilly) when wearing it in the autumn/winter. 

I was also sceptical about the price but I think the designer quality will last me longer and I can wear it for more autumn/winter seasons to come.
