Long time followers of this blog might remember a certain H&M trench coat that I *might* have worn with every outfit back in 2012-2014. Not saying I did, not saying I didn’t, haha! That coat went a long way and took me from high school, to college and uni. We had a good time together, but eventually it became too small for me (I know how silly that sounds). I never found a worthy replacement until this year!
I went to the mall one day and while I had absolutely zero reasons to be there, I came home with two new items. This trench coat being one of them. I love the soft beige color, the tortoise buttons and the straight fit. My old trench was a fit-and-flare style, which I liked in high school, but not so much in the years after. A straight coat feels much more mature and is probably also going to be easier to style. I bought the smallest size they had (EU34/US2) and it’s still a little loose around my shoulders, but I don’t mind as that extra room means I can comfortably wear a sweater underneath.
We’re starting lock down week 8 in Belgium, but my mind is somewhere else completely. Our lives are about to change big time on Wednesday and I’m nervous as can be. We are fully prepped (I think… oh goodness… HELP!) and there’s nothing left to do but wait. Time has never moved more slowly!
Also, do you notice anything strange about this blog today? I think it looks different, no?
Happy Monday!

This is such a great classic trench and it looks so good on you! My old reliable trench is a fit and flare too, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a classic straight one like this for a while but being petite I really need to try coats on in person – that won’t be happening any time soon, ha!
Your new blog layout looks lovely and I’m looking forward to the big exciting reveal – I hope you will share some on your blog! ๐
Love the new lay-out! Job well done ๐
(PS: in Bloglovin zie ik wel geen pre-view fotootje meer staan nu, maar dat is het minste)
Liefs!
Thanks! ๐ Er is nog wel wat werk aan, maar vooral detailwerk.
Gek dat je geen preview ziet, want ik zie ze zelf nog wel!
Dankjewel voor de feeback. Ik ga het eens navragen bij de themebuilder.
