The Perfect Parka.

So I've talked about how I've been looking for the perfect "parka" / raincoat for some time now. See here. Anyways, my dream has finally come true! I found this coat at H&M for $59, thanks to my lovely tax return :) and I am in love!

Mine:



So far, it has also worked well as more of a cardigan or sweater over a tank or cooler shirt, with leggings or shorts. The hood also came in very handy the other day when I got caught in the rain!

Inspiration:

Jacket

'member in that other entry I talked about "the oversized parka" and how its supposed to be a big trend for spring/summer...?
Anyways, I found an amazing Billabong one at Boathouse (below) only in a khaki green colour that I just LOVE! It was on sale for $62 I think, so I might hold off, but it fit sooo well, and you can roll up the sleeves to for something even more summery!
