Just call me Sherlock

This week's What I wore Sunday is an audience participation one, I need your opinions.

I bought this Dorothy Perkins tweed cape in the summer at the charity shop (as I tend to do) and then yesterday it was a grotty enough day to justify wearing a proper autumn coat/jacket. The only thing is, I didn't know if I looked a bit too comical and Sherlock-y...what do you think?


Yay, or nay?

Excuse the raindrops, as you can see it was raining on the way home, hence the indoor pics again!

I wore it with my 10p skinny jeans, and my more than 10p brown boots thinking it would be best to have a slim shape on one half if the top half is big and billowing!

  1. Gorgeous!!! (I may be biased, I have fabric for one very similar waiting to be cut out on my sewing table at the moment). Definitely works well with the slim lower half :)

  2. love it! It really works with the skinnies and boots.
    rock it with confidence... and a hat, pipe and witty repartee. ;)
    It looks like a lot of fun and nice and warm. Are your church the happy clappy type? It might be a tad tricky to get really clappy or high-hands-waiving in the air ;). I guess that would help to warm you up a bit.

  3. Definitely agree it looks good with your slim lower half.

  4. It is very cute and you look great in it. I'm tall (5'11") and would want it to be a little longer for me, but it looks fabulous on you. Not Sherlock Holmesy at all.

  9. Love it! Not too Sherlock-y at all. I think it works well with the jeans and boots. That collar does it for me. Very smart.
    Super-kudos as well for it being a charity shop find. One of my favourite winter-wears is a 70s tweedic double-breasted coat with a high collar - looks a bit like a 1930's car coat - which cost about £9. So, I salute you.
