This is the coat just plain buttoned up, a bit on the boring side - needs a little accessories, but all I have to show at the moment, sorry. Should have snagged one of my red purses at the very least, right?
Check out that rounded color, the vents - they are all over - it's like a coat dress, with two buttons in the back, too. Just too cute not to buy it with such perfect details and fine quality.
I tracked it down after Black Apple's post here. She shows it off much better - open with a cute outfit underneath. I'll try that another time. With the weather this cold I'm sure to have more opportunities.The color is a nice light gray - very neutral, which means a dark red scarf is a good idea...
I wish the pictures were nicer and you could see my face, but I lack severely in self-confidence and I'm nowhere near as cute as Black Apple so I'll just let the coat speak for itself. The scarf is hard to tell, but a really dark burgundy velvet scarf, long enough to wrap around your neck and still dangle - I love that scarf and my mother keeps stealing it!! Darn it! :)
I can't wait to wear it with a cute skirt and tights - here I just wore my typical jeans as it was a quick outing and I thought it'd be too cold for a skirt. But this coat deserves a nice dress or skirt and some fantastic mary janes. I owe it to the coat. If you are interested - it wasn't cheap and I did have a bit of trouble getting it - took quite some time to come through, but for a quality London coat like this - well worth it. I can't believe they named the color so ugly, though - Donkey?? Not appealing, Saltwater...cute company name, but you need better names for your colors - if I hadn't seen how cute it was on Emily I never would have thought to buy a donkey colored coat. I only wish they had this in dark red, too. Not that I could afford two. LOL If you want more info on where exactly to find it let me know, I had some trouble at first, myself.
Next post will hopefully finally show off some of the work I've managed to do. Can you believe it's February already??
I've also updated a few items to Etsy tonight and tomorrow I will photograph and add more. Be sure to check it out!!

Hi,
I found your post while looking for reviews on Saltwater. I wanted to buy their red coat which is in the same style as you have in Donkey (it's on sale!).http://shop.saltwater.net/product/714/S5J05_Wool_Princess_Coat
Do you have a sense on the sizing for the coat? I'm somewhat in between sizes so not sure what to order properly.
Thanks!
It's a great coat. I'd say it is plenty big for its size so if you are in between and think it unlikely to gain - I'd get the smaller size, but that's just my opinion. They have a great size chart available - just measure yourself (chest, waist, etc.) and compare to the chart. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much! BTW, you look so darling in your coat! I'm so jealous...I wish I had seen that color when it was still available!
