New | Chelsea Boots

30,00 at New Look 

In my penultimate blog post (link) I told you how excited I am about Chelsea Boots. And now they are finally mine! These shoes are from New Look and I bought them at Asos (link). It took about a month before I could order them 'cause they were sold out. Eventually, I ordered them in size 39 (UK 6 - US 9), although I have size 38, but I just couldn't wait any longer. And with a sole and a pair of thick socks it's absolutely doable. The shoes have a heel of 8 cm. Yet they walk equally nice as sneakers. In short: I love them.

What are your thoughts about Chelsea boots?

New | Dotted Overall

19,99 at H&M


I'm so happy with this garment! Overalls are a musthave this season. Because I am quite short, I think that overalls with long legs don't fits me well. Luckely I saw this hang at H&M and to my delight it was a short at the bottom. Besides, in Holland is it such a nice weather lately that a short overall - I don't know exactly how you call it - comes in handy. The polka dots gives the garment a cute tough.
I put a black top underneath because of the open back. I like to combine it with a short black blazer (a white one looks good as well). To give this outfit a slightly tougher look I wear it with my black creepers. You're ready to go. 

How should you combine this overall?

You see them more and more often: Chelsea Boots! I absolutely love these shoes. For those who don't know what kind of shoes they are: they're ankle boots with on the side a black stretch fabric. Unfortunately I don't have them myself yet, but it will definitely happen. In this blog post I'm going to show you  my favorites.

Zara Spring/Summer Collection 2014: My Favorites

The new collection of Zara is out and they have such beautiful things again. In this blog post I'll share my favorite pieces with you. 


This dress is my favorite! I've decided that I want to wear more dresses this spring/summer and this is definitely a good encouragement for that. If you  a tougher look you can match for example black chelsea boots and a leather jacket to the dress.

Why is this blog called 'The Yellow Coat' ?

Why did I choose for this blog name? I'll explain. Late 2012, I was looking for a fall/winter coat. It was already late in the evening. My mother and I were already been in thousands of shops looking for the perfect coat and we had almost specified our courage. However, we decided to enter the H&M as last hope. And there it hung. One of my best purchases ever. It was love at first sight. The jacket was not expensive, fitted perfectly and the best: it wasn't such a standard jacket everyone else has. You see that the coat not longer looks very nice and that is not so weird. I wear it almost every day. Just because it's comfortable, has fine pockets where i can put easily my stuff in and it has such a beautiful color. I've never actually been struggling with combining this coat. I usually wear dark clothes so I don't have the problem that it won't match with the rest of my outfit. The coat is unfortunately not longer for sale. But this season, H&M has another mustard-yellow coat in the collection. This time it's a bit oversized. If you like this kind of coats I should definitely check it out.
So in short: I looked for a blog name that says a lot about me. Since you can recognize me as 'the girl in the yellow coat', which was in my opinion a bit of a long name, so it's simply become 'The Yellow Coat'.






Oversized Yellow Coat H&M - now in the collection.
