Chelsea Boots

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.

I saw this boots in the end of October in Sacha. I wanted them so badley but I didn't have enough money to buy them. And now, almost three months later, I finally got them! And I love it! The buckles and the golden (in this picture they became silver, i don't know why) details are very pretty. You can combine them with everything and they are a nice addition to your outfit. 

Sacha has got many cut out boots, you should definitely check it out.

The Green KENZO Sweater!

I'm in love with this brand! Especially with the sweaters! Who doens't love a big tigerhead on your stomach. And that's why I bought one! 

Not the real one of course, those are 200 euros and I can't afford that. So I bought a look-a-like. And lucky me, it looks exactly like the real green KENZO sweater. You can't see any difference. My sweater is also from really good quality. So I don't mind that I haven't a real KENZO sweater.

But the question is, how to combine this striking sweater without being too dramatic?
Some inspiration to style a green KENZO sweater:

Bandana's, yes please!

I think it's gonna be my new addiction: bandana's! A few days ago I bought a bandana online. Actually it's a farmer handkerchief (in dutch: een boerenzakdoek). But I don't know if that's a real existing English word. Anyway, I ordered it on this site: https://www.bouffante.nl 

I think blue suits me the best because my hair is a bit reddish and a red bandana curses with that. I preferably wear the bandana with a messy bun and the knot of the bandana on top of my head:

But you can also wear it in other ways:

*Rock chick: This is the tougher way to wear a bandana. Put a lot of beach spray in your hair for a messy look. Next tie the bandana with the knot on your head. You're good to go!

*Retro version: a good way to hide a bad hairday! Make a bun with your hair. Then wrap the bandana round your head like a headscarf. Make sure that the knot is on top of your head.

*Hipster girl: this version of the bandana is really cute to wear for example to a festival! All you have to do is tie the bandana around your head as messy as possible. In my opinion it's the most fun to use a very colorful scarf for this look.

*Girly girl: this is the cutest way to wear your bandana. Roll the bandana so that it's very thin, and then turn it over your head, with the knot on the side. If you wish, you can even make a bow instead of a knot for a cuter effect.
