the new yellow coat makes its debut

I love my coat. If it had all its buttons I would seriously consider wearing it as a dress. But alas, since it dosn't, I'll content myself with throwing it over artful layers and affecting that jaunty "casually unbuttoned in the dead of winter because I LIKE it this way" look.
For what it's worth, this outfit started as something much more pedestrian, involving no striking black and white OR red lips. Aren't we all glad I had a last-minute change of heart? The red lipstick, I confess, is an homage to le Porkchop, since she doesn't think I wear glamour often enough.
The dress is a bit more square than I usually wear, leaving me waistless. However, it's houndstooth, which is just ineffably cool. And it has those super-cool black panels on the sides that make me look narrower. Maybe. I'll keep telling myself that.
