coat: COS
turtleneck: DIY
sandals: Topshop
When I was about 11 years old my mother started to give me 'kleed geld', a monthly amount of money to buy my own clothes. To teach me some responsibility and to learn how to handle money I guess. Well, you can understand that the first year, all I bought were hair clips, inflatable handbags(it was 1999 guys!), and a pair of platform sandals in the middle of winter that were also two sizes too big. Eventually I did learn to buy the necessities and that hair clips don't really build a wardrobe. But one thing I haven't bought in the last 13 years is a proper winter coat. Until last Saturday; I feel so
Choosing a coat is hard; it has to be bought before the real cold starts, which is a time when it's easy to underestimate the winter temperatures, besides it has to be worn every day and fit your every mood. I always ended up layering thick fisherman's sweaters with short leather jackets and long thin coats (yes in that order). But this year I started my research early, but ended up falling in love with a long light powder pink one from COS. Now my new biggest worry is keeping it clean.

What a great lesson your mother was trying to teach you, I guess it worked! Im not sure if its Melbourne winter weather or my weakness for well structured clothing but I have quite a collection of winter coats.... all in black, but your white one looks amazing.... next year.

A great investment indeed ;)
Adorable coat! I'm always a bit afraid to wear white coats - there is a high risk to get dirty in a few seconds :-D
Amazing look ! Your style is so unique !

I am pretty much the same - despite living in a city that one could invariably wear a coat 70% of the year (Melbourne, Australia) as it is unpredictably cold/chilly/raining most of the time... I have never really bought myself a good quality winter coat before.
This year, like you - I am planning ahead. I found my dream coat at the start of our summer, and have it put aside so I can purchase it in February (it's quite expensive *cry*) BUT it will be a great investment! Love your powder pink choice. When it comes to coats it really is the final statement of your outfit. It needs to say the right thing.
supermooie volwassen jas ;)
im all for wearing white during winter

I love how this is the palest shade of pink. and it's a perfectly versatile shade, so it'll definitely be a piece that will last as trends change! beautiful.
Wow! I love the whole outfit! The coat and shoes! Perfect! :)
This is ridiculously perfect Ivania! You're such an inspiration. I love the look of all black under powder pink!
I've been thinking about getting a pale coat since the cold moved in, and I think you've just sealed the deal!
Amazing look!

Nice! I'm a little late int he season to be doing my research, but you're absolutely right that until it gets cold it's hard to really imagine what cold feels like. I'm still looking for my coat, as you can see here:

Cos is actually next on my list!
All the same for me, I even spent a whole Berlin winter, that could be described as 'icy' just with a perfecto. But this year i'm also going to do the things right and I ordered a huge coat from etsy that looks like a shelter against the cold. Yours is perfect, the length and the color are not an easy pick but it looks great on you!
looks amazing on you. well worth the wait, x
SUPER COOL PICTURES AND SUPER COOL COAT!

Bloody gorgeous photos as always. Love the dusty pink colour, reminds me of that final RafJil SimonsSander collection. And omfg inflatable handbags! I lived for the inflatable sofa in my bedroom which sprung a leak about once every two months and I had to replace constantly. Kind of want to get another...

Really beautiful photographs.
Your coat is stunning.

OF COURSE, you look stunning, but what really strikes me in this post is the photography. your boyfriend has really perfected the craft. beautiful.
and that’s a great lesson your mother thought you. it has obviously worked. My mother did the same thing, and I had never really connected my ability to budget with that. Until now.
love your simple but very exclusive style!
it was almost the same in my case, but the difference is that I received money very rarely so I had to think twice what to buy to use it for a long time.
And I love your coat.
Such an extraordinary coat!

You definitely chose well! It's a beautiful coat. I'd love a white or light coloured coat for winter but I'm too afraid of marking it.

A proper coat really is worth a mint :)
Wow, I hope you can keep it clean,
but it's worth it, such a beautiful coat!

very nice choice
Long and simple coats always remind me of the classic vision of a woman entering a late night diner.
In any case, the soft pink of the coat contrasted with the black (and being so close in shade to your hair), it's near perfect.
You know, I love your blog, I really love your simple style, love black&white and gray things, I love your Acne shoes but I'll never understand why you matched that great (winter or autumn)coat with these topshop(rather cold to wear in autumn[i don't even think about winter])shoes. If it comes to me, that exposed belly also isn't accurate in that outfit :<
It isn't to offend you, I just think this kind of matching doesn't make any sense and isn't practical. It's like wearing winter shoes on sunny day in July. And it's just my opinion. But I'll love your blog after all :)
This is really an amazing outfit.especially i love the color of your coat.it looks so simple and good for a casual wear.thank you for the post.

That heels are amazing. It was one of my birthday's gifts, but it wasn't the good size for me. And now they're out of stock. That's a tragedy !

@anonymous:
thanks for your honest opinion, well because it's still autumn and round 12 degrees, so wearing those sandals with a pair of thick wool tights is still okay :) same goes for the cropped top; which is also wool and super warm! (if you close your coat that is)
and I've also worn my winter acne boots in winter with bare legs! Or this same crop turtleneck in summer with shorts, I really like clothes that are season-less and can be used throughout the year
you're so beautiful and different its so cool <3
Those heels are to DIE for!!
You look so chic....I LOVE IT
this coat is perfect! <3 you always look perfect <3
coat,shoe and outfit is wonderful.
