Im quite bored of plain coloured coats at the moment. I'm going through the technipause, like the menopause except instead of hot flushes I am being overtaken by a strong desire to wear outlandish bold colours and designs.
Increasingly I feel the need to embellish my coats with fur stoles and scarfs, flowers and twinkly buttons.So this Sheego patchwork coat £120 from Curvissa is right up my street.
This coat is risky but it so paid off |
When you are buying a coat like this it is always a risk. With its bright coloured buttons and patch work design I was a bit worried it would look a little bit Joseph Technicolour dream coat but actually once it arrived I absolutely loved it.
This is such a great shape |

How the coat looks on the Curvisaa website |
Its made of a thick scuba type fabric with printed panels and a tweed patch. The collar either buttons up neatly or you can follow my lead and wear it up in a jaunty fashion.The buttons ate black, red and green and it contains hidden pockets-bravo!
Mister Truffles-the perfect accessory |
The shape is lovely. Semi fitted and well constructed so it has the lovely stiffness that makes it look really beautifully made.
Be warned the sizing on this garish beauty is on the slightly snug size so if you are in between sizes or have big bangers my advice would be to size up.
Patricia Field the designer from Sex and the city who I love once said the following:

The inspiring Ms Field |
Getting dressed in the morning is a storytelling of who you are and what you're doing that day—put yourself on a stage. That stage can be the office that day. Once you have the idea, it's just connect-the-dots."
I adore this idea. So here I am telling my story through my beautiful new coat. Its a page turner that's for sure!
