Fabulous in Plaid

"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

~ Gore Vidal ~

I love winter. I love winter fashion. I especially love winter fashion when I spot a coat that is simply fabulous...like this one designed by Asheranna, owner of McButtkinz. I'm no stranger to Asheranna's clothing store; I own several of her mesh outfits and love them, but when I spotted this gem...my heart instantly started going pitter-patter, pitter-patter. I had to make it my first McButtkinz blog.

The beautiful red plaid of the coat is understated and stylish with wide, black, fur cuffs at the end of the sleeves and around the neck; accentuating it with a cute little plaid bow, set slightly off to the side. The collar is a petal-like design, in black, that goes all the way around the neckline...which I think is adorable. Simple gold buttons line down the front of the coat and a black "belt" at the waist to break up the plaid...a smart design move because it just gives the coat that "something extra". She finishes the hem of the coat with the same black petal-like design found at the neckline which, I feel adds to the adorability factor. In addition to the coat, she designed matching high heel boots that come with and without a resizer to guarantee a great fit. What makes the boots? She adds a black band around the center of the matching red plaid trim of the boot tops and places a neat little bow on the side of each boot. Adorable!

Yes it is a coat but I like to wear it as coat dress because this is not a coat that should be taken off and neatly hung in the closet. Oh no, no, no, no! Believe me, once you put it on, you will want to wear it everywhere and show it off. Not only is this coat cute as can be...it's fresh, fun, and daring. I believe Asheranna has made a statement with this piece...and so will you when you wear it.

If this is your first introduction to Asheranna and McButtkinz fashion and you like high quality, well-fitting mesh clothing, I implore you to visit her store and check out her other offerings.
