Now while I’m not normally one for religiously following trends (not that I’m against it either), I can safely say I managed to nail the camel coat trend. Now how did I do this? Well I happened to own a camel coat, it was pretty easy actually. This coat has been in my wardrobe from a few years back, so I guess you could say I’ve been nailing the trend for a few years now. Maybe I started the trend, who knows.

Sadly for me though, the days of weather where I can wear coats (without looking like I’ve just done a workout) appear to be almost over. Which is saying something given I have a penchant for dressing utterly inappropriately for the weather. Being hot however is NOT something I enjoy and it tends to cause me to enter a state of distress and inability to do anything except stand there and complain A LOT. The biggest struggle during my recent European trip was the sweltering heat…who knew a European summer could rival that of Melbourne – the home of bizarre & extreme weather. Therefore depressingly, this may be the coat’s last playtime before next winter.
