In three days’ time it will be the shortest day of the year and it certainly does feel rather dark and dreary right now. At this time of year, when sunshine is scarce, I like to boost my mood by wearing bright colours. When it comes to dopamine dressing nothing beats this rainbow coat of dreams! It fills me with joy and makes me smile. How can you not be happy wearing a coat like this?
Just like yesterday’s outfit, I had been stalking this coat for months…maybe even a year or more. The only thing that stopped me from buying it was the price – it’s over £300 on the Jayley website. I’d been looking on eBay and Vinted but to no avail. For some reason I searched on Google for it (I think I was going to pin it on Pinterest) when it came up at Asos for £130! My ears pricked up immediately. Then I remembered I had a 30% discount code. I tried it at the checkout fully expecting it not to work…but it did! At under £100 I bagged my rainbow coat of dreams!
That was back in the summer so I’ve been waiting a few months to wear it. It’s ironic, because I have very little patience with most things, but when it comes to acquiring clothes at a bargain price I’ll wait for however long it takes. With a coat like this you can pick out any of the colours, the styling options are endless. I love lilac and yellow so that’s what I decided on. The rainbow heart bag was the obvious choice – the more colour the better! I was also wearing acrylic rainbow earrings, but I took the photos myself on the tripod and forgot to get a close up.

Such luck! Isn’t that so good when you wait for something and then you finally find it reduced! It looks amazing! Good luck with the presents! I’m all ready, well have to buy one thing today and then I’m ready. Have a great day.
A sensational outfit. I absolutely love the coat of dreams, and the rainbow bag. Thanks for all the link ups this year. Have a lovely Christmas! xx
I always celebrate the shortest day! Good luck with your last-minute shopping Emma. I often shop late and I feel the hype leading up to Christmas can make us feel bad for not being “done” earlier.
The coat is a real show-stopper and I love it when bargains like this come along, especially when it’s something on your wish list.
Have the best Christmas xx
This coat is fabulous!
