#MoroccanMonday look 59

 There are a lot of things I would have loved to have in life, one of them is definitely being able to make use of my sisterhood and swap clothes with my younger sister without having to worry myself sick. However, as we can’t have it all (or even some of it for that matter), I’m stuck with having to cite a whole speech to my younger sister before lending her one piece of clothing for a few hours which I know she’ll end up ruining anyway. Case in point is this beautiful black coat of mine that I’ve featured in previous posts. 

 Apart from it being a tiny bit too big for me, this coat was perfect whenever I needed to dress smart on a cold day or just look put-together in general. However, all its utility vanished when I got it back from my sister with completely destroyed arms as if she were attacked by a pack of wolves whilst using it as a shield for protection. After a tiny nervous breakdown, I took matters into my own hands and decided to get rid of the sleeves so I could still wear it during the transitional season instead of throwing it away and buying a new one; and let me tell you, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done!

 The colour, lack of sleeves and tailoring make this coat a wardrobe staple. The minute I got it back from the seamstress I had a million looks in my mind and couldn’t wait to rock it on this week’s #MoroccanMonday look! Instead of going all black with a pop of colour, I decided to go back to my old obsession: stripes. As much as the distressed denim and cotton top balance out the smart attire of the coat, I wanted to keep it classy when it came to footwear. I’ve seen this pair of pointy loafers a while back and knew they would be the perfect finishing touch to this look (fun fact: I bought them on my way to shoot this look because I literally had no time and this was luckily the last pair left). I absolutely love the nerdy look, black rich leather, pointed  front and most importantly the comfortable and timeless design. You’ll be definitely seeing these a lot more in my upcoming looks.
