I had been eying up this Leopard print boyfriend coat in Dotti for more than a few months but couldn't bring myself to part with the cash because, let's get real here, I live in a part of Australia where the temperature rarely dips below 20 degrees celsius, but when I walked past a store and saw it on sale for $49.95 and they only had one left in my size I knew it must be fate.
You see, I've been searching for the perfect leopard print coat for years. Years. When done well they look chic and invoke the spirit of Bridget Bardot and her ilk of 60s sex kittens, but when done badly they just look so tacky.
Structured coats are my weakness (among others) and this is perfect. It's apparently a boyfriend style but I don't find it slouchy or particularly oversized. The pattern itself is what cinched it for me - it's not too yellow or loud and the fact that it's not faux fur gives it a little bit of a masculine edge.
Here I am giving it my best Patti Smith ignoring the suffocating humidity in leather trousers and a coat just for you.
