Tiger is the new leopard

I started seeing faux fur tiger coats on street style stars pop up on pinterest and I was smitten. So when this coat came out I knew I had to have it for my closet.

This coat was another thing I picked up at the end of 2018 but showed up at the begining of 2019. In fact it showed up after I injured my knee so I didn’t get around to sharing it until now. It has a bit of a retro feel but I feel like the tiger stripes are more unique. The coat is really flattering with an aline shape.

I thought I would do a recap on how January went with focusing on mindful shopping.

I did do some shopping during January. It started with these boots (seen in this post). I had been trying to find a great pair of leopard boots and they fit the bill. Since I don’t have another pair leopard boots I consider this to fit within the mindful shopping realm.

After I hurt my leg mindful shopping went a bit out the window. I bought some tops I didn’t need. I bought for a season we are not currently in. I blame the fashion industry for the second one but I guess if I lived more south of here we would be closer to spring than where I am; it could be winter for a good 2 to 3 more months.

This top is fantastic. It is my favourite layering top. Great for travel and everyday really. This is the other top I got, I like it but not as much as the first.

I also ordered this dress. I guess you could layer it with a turtleneck and stockings underneath but truly I will only wear it once it gets warmer. It is really flattering on and lots of fabric to not have to layer a cami underneath.

I also fell prey to my own vacation posts. I ordered this dress and some really cute flower pjs.

I ordered a bunch of jeans to try but returned all but these which replace an older too small pair of grey jeans.

Overall I am not too disappointed with January. I didn’t completely stay away from shopping. And I did buy somethings I didn’t truly need. But for the most part I just filled some gaps.
