My Mum thinks I look like a cartoon in this coat. Well, you don’t have to take her word for it. :)
I’ve always loved finding nice clothes and accessories and trying out different outfits in the morning. Most of the time I work from home, but even if I don’t meet a soul the whole day, I always dress up for myself. Some of my friends find it strange that I never wear tracksuit bottoms and torn t-shirts when I’m just at home… I wouldn’t feel myself if I did that. (Besides, I don’t even own any tracksuit bottoms.) (Oh, OK, I have one pair.) (But I don't wear it.) (Enough brackets!)
I feel lucky I can wear clothes that make me happy about myself, I don’t know how I’d feel wearing work appropriate black and white all week long! Instead, I can wear things like this coat, which fits the cartoon-character part of my personality just perfect.
Wearing: Second hand coat and dress, Promod hat, C&A cowl,
Calzedonia tights, Chinese shoes.

Gorgeous coat!
These cartoon pictures made me smile so much. Did you make them? If so I may have a business proposition for you. I have always noticed that I feel more connected with my clothes now to. For the record, the coat is lovely. I'm wanting a long one this year. I'm new here and you're definitely getting bookmarked :)

Oh my god, I'm totally obsessed with this! I love the illustrations! :)
I especially love this set of illustrations, milady. And I know what you mean about wanting to dress to make yourself happy and not being lazy about it. People shake their heads at my clothes, but I only get so much time to dress how I want to dress (work clothes suck) and I plan to take advantage of it.
When I was in uni my roommates would always make fun of me because they would be wearing pjs or track suits and I would be dressed up, even if I didn't leave the house. I find dresses way comfier than track pants and jeans anyway!
Szívesen! :) Thanks for the Hungarian! And the lovely compliment!:)
Thank you Linndsey! :)
Thanks Ípek!
Thank you Rachel! :) I make all the drawings on this little blog, I'm glad you like them! Intrigued by the proposition, let's hear it! :)
Isabel, how wonderful to have you here! So glad you like the illustrations! :)
And you do take advantage of it fully! I tend to forget you need to wear work clothes a lot of the time, your blogged outfits are so colourful! Thank you btw! :)
Couldn't aggree more, a dress might look more "dressy" but is so much more comfortable than jeans! We should advertise this or something. :)
Oh man, I loooooove those illustrations! So cute! Of course you look great in real life, too.
I adore this post Madeline! Your hat is really cute and I love that coat :) It makes you look so ladylike! x
Haha, thank you! :)
Thank you Nikki! Since I'm wearing it I keep noticing old ladies wearing similarly cut coats. Anyway, I don't mind as long as I look more like a cartoon and not a pensioner. :)
Those cartoons are too cute! Really. And I understand your personal connection to clothing. I developed the same thing after I began blogging. My clothes are my friends and comrades.
Oh you're just wonderful!!! I love that you dress up when you work from home. I completely am in my bathrobe! Guilty of being uncute at home.
LOOOOOVE your cartoon! I actually think you jacket is so super classic, it fits into a black and white movie.
I have been told that I dress like a cartoon character too. Your drawings are lovely! The coat is great.
I love the combination of the winter weight coat and cowl with the bright floral dress, but my favorite parts of this post are the illustrations. They have so much personality and show off the clothes in whole new light. Brava!
I love illustrated madeline, and your coat is great! Lovely printed dress as well.
and i don't own a tracksuit either. what would i ever do with that?
That's a great way of wording it - friends and comrades!
Thank you Jamillah! :) And I didn't intend to make anyone feel guilty, please don't!Wearing what you feel comfortable in is first, and it's different for each of us. I was judged by my friends for dressing up, but I'm definitely not judging anyone for dressing down! :)
I hope you take it as a compliment too! :)
Thank you so much! :)
Haha, I bought mine when I thought I'd go running if I had something to run in. Obviously tracksuit bottoms are not an incentive enough. :)
You look stunning! Love all of the colors and layers... and you look great in that hat! You look cute as a cartoon :)
I love the illustrations! Your coat is very nice! It looks so stylish with your boots. Perfect autumn look.
I love your illustrations!
Thank you! :)
Thank you! :)
Thank you, Kira! :)

A person's style definitely reflects some of their personality. I love this coat on you. I also work remotely, at home at times and definitely still dress as if I am in the office. It actually helps me get more done for some reason. lol. -xo
Love your coat- it's got such a beautiful shape to it! And I definitely hear you- whether I'm staying home by myself or going out I love to dress up- I just feel so much better about myself!

Fab outfit! I really love it. But those illustrations are just incredible. I had to do illustrations for uni work but i was never the best at it. I have so much respect for people who can draw like that!
