Camel.....

TIP...a camel coat is one of the key investment pieces but I styled the outfit with knee high DM style boots to add a post punk feel but the loose shirt and soft neutral colours keeps the look romantic

Grey.....

TIP...turn grey into a more feminine 50's approach but I put a denim shirt underneath to make the look more rebellious and less dainty

The Cape.....

TIP...add a bit of leg to this cape with socks pulled up high but showing a bit of skin it breaks up the weight of the cape the blouse underneath softens and compliments heavy printed wool
