Hello loves!
It’s been a while since I posted modest outfits. No, I haven’t stopped modesty blogging… Two reasons:
- I usually forget to take pictures of my outfit(s) because I’m almost always in a hurry because I’m usually late wherever I’m going (I need to work on my punctuality).
- I haven’t been going out much and the outfits haven’t been blogging-about worthy lol.
OK, now that that’s out of the way… It’s winter here in Malawi at the moment, which is really autumn for other countries. When it’s very very cold here, it’s about 12°C (I know, I know, pffft, how’s that winter?). So we don’t get to brace ourselves for snow and cover our bodies with 4 layers.
Anyway, this post is about coats. Here is a quick guide to types of coats:
I’m sure you know how much I love red and black by now. I find black so easy to match with. I usually wear a coat full of colour with a black or monochrome skirt/dress. I am really not into colour blocking.
Let’s just get one other thing out of the way: the way my bank account is currently set up, I could never afford these coats brand new. These were all thrifted either Mponda Bwino or mu ma hanger in town. OK, as you were…
I should apologize for that dirty mirror 🙈
Only thing I really hate about thrifted coats is how they rarely come with their belt, or have a button or two missing. But that doesn’t stop me, as long as you take your time in selecting the coat before parting with your hard earned cash. I added a belt to this coat as well as the one below:
When it comes to wearing skirts with boots, I prefer a midi skirt to a maxi dress. This little guide helps me:
I would have added flat shoes to the midi skirt too, though.
Let me finish this post by blessing you with a picture of a coat I fell in love with.
Would you look at this beauty 😍😍
Thank you for stopping by! Keep warm! X
P/S: I hope showing you the things I thrift and how I mix them tells you that you don’t need so much money to wear modestly. That’s the message I’ve been trying to get across 🙂 x
