So this picture may not look terribly special - a woman in a long leather coat buying flowers at an outdoor stand. However, it gives me more joy to post it than viewers may guess. I posted this in the original Leather Coat Daydreams blog years ago. Many of the photos from that blog vanished from the Internet when I deleted the group in 2012. Then in 2015 my computer crashed. We were able to recover the vast majority of the files, but a few were lost. I thought that this photo, which I really like for some reason, was among the files that vanished into oblivion. Nevertheless, I have searched for it among my backup discs these past five years, clinging to the hope that I might rediscover the obscure folder it was hidden in. And two weeks ago, much to my excitement, I stumbled upon the file containing this photo and several others that I had forgotten about! It is my pleasure to share it once more.
A homage to all the ladies from the 1970s to the first decade of the new millennium who were sophisticated enough to button up a long leather coat over an elegant outfit and strut their stuff. Sleek leather coats disappeared from mainstream fashion for a while, but their popularity may be on the rise once more. This page is dedicated to those who hope that such classic style finds its way back into women's wardrobes again someday.

ReplyDeleteI am still looking forward to read your new story, Cuirbouilli! When would you update the stories of Maxi Coates? I am hoping to see storylines that include more rain-splashing, scratching and scraping of Maxi's exquisite leather garments.
