Morning, dear glamistas!

A couple of weeks ago I received in the mail my latest acquisition and I was so excited to show it to you all! I don’t have to hide it anymore and you will probably get tired of seeing this beautiful maroon oversized coat from ASOS popping up on my Instagram and other social media, but I just happen to be in love 😉

When I was young(er), going shopping was a special family tradition for me, my mum and my sister. Twice a year, the three of us would drive to one of the biggest outlets in Madrid and would go on a shopping spree until our feet hurt and our hands couldn’t hold any more bags. Like literally.

I was always very excited about these little consumerist trips to a place where you could get lost in the well-known high-street names (Zara, Mango, Pull&Bear) as well as in less trendy but higher-end shops that nobody in my high-school had heard of.

We would leave the outlet at the end of the day, both excited and exhausted, with the boot full of awesome previous season and factory defect clothes bought at a ridiculous price tag.  And we always managed to find some original statement pieces that were the envy of our friends, our mission accomplished 😉

For some reason, I had this habit of saving my favourite purchases from these trips in my wardrobe for a special occasion. I would wait for weeks on end before releasing THE jeans, or THE top, or THE shoes that would make me feel like I could run the world if so I wished. For me, it was like saving the last bite of your favourite meal for last… Did you ever do the same, glamistas?

It’s funny how we change with time though, as nowadays when I get my hands on a new gem I cannot wait to put it on and flash it before the eyes of the entire world, like I’ve done with this cutie here, ha! 🙂

This oversized masculine cocoon coat is stealing all the spotlight and rightly so 😉 ASOS calls it “berry”, but I think maroon is definitely more like it. I have styled it with all black pieces to enhance the striking colour and add a casual masculine vibe to the whole look. This gorgeous black Dr Martens bag and shoe dupes from Primark complete the ensemble.

What do you guys think? Do you also feel the love? Did you like my new friend the Cocoon Coat?

Have a fantastic Sunday! Xoxo
