I can't find any better photos but this is what I wear on my moto jacket. Our darling Francesca.
Greg took a photo of her and had appliqués made from the photo. Greg has her on most of his T shirts and I have her on a few coats. LOL.

None as my usual winter coat is a 3-in-1 waterproof jacket with a detachable inner fleece or whatever layer that can be worn separately on their own or together as a really warm jacket.

My other coat is black, water resistant, and I don't accessorise it at all.

There is a wool coat that I seldom wear, with a faux leather lapel and cuffs (they need replacing), and I would wear a brooch with it as it would only be worn for really dressy occasions.

I am very impressed with bling on a 'fur' coat
My grandma would have been impressed

After days of trying to take a pictute that is not 'land of a thousand chins' this is what im doing with the alpaca pocho

OMG its sooooo warm
my arms have not been this warm in 20 years !

It drapes on an angle so i think one wrist needs a 3 inch woodern bangle
I tried wrapping a 'wood' & 'tourquoise' necklase around my wrist but it was a bit wide and the 'silver' doesn't go with the necklase which is mum's tiger eye i never remember her wearing (my sister didn't want it)

Hahaha! "land of a thousand chins" Hahaha!!!!
Seriously, that is a gorgeous poncho.It looks purple on my monitor with blue fringes.Is it itchy like mohair or soft like cashmere? If it was mine (I do have a black poncho) I would wear a brooch either on or close to the collar. I like the tigers eye beads with it,they look super stylish

Thank you
It is the softest 'wool' i have ever had next to my skin that wasn't a cat snuggling in bed !
Its the feel of it that's made me drag it out of the wardrobe in the first place

Its a dark brown with black fringe
Don't ask me why brown ??
Its not even chestnut, its brown like my high school uniform jersey (that was scratchy)
But black makes me look even more washed out then i usually am in the winter

I keep forgetting about the tiger eye but i reeally love it.
It feels the perfect weight for a slightly longer necklass
I actually wore it out today for only the 2nd time

What kind of brooch do you think ?
I had a cheap and cheerful fun orange Gerbera but i bet i buffed it when we moved

Basically anything that goes with brown, like Amber,Tigers eye or a small silver brooch like a flower or pussy cat maybe?

My braclete is in the letter box ...but i can't find my key
I can see it in the red NZ post bag through the flap
I'll get it tomorrow
our letter box gets coachrochers and ants so i don't like opening it once it gets even slightly dark incase something comes inside with the mail


anyway

What do you think of this brooch for a pop of colour @Made in London
see i have gerbera's in my head because i used to have an orange gerbera hair clip ...but its now become really hard or rather coat prohibitive to buy one nice orange artifical gerbera
This isnt quite what i was thinking ....
I don't usually do pink but they don't do orange
It is freight free and its already made into a brooch

 

[Made in London]

I think it will look very pretty on your poncho but of course we will need pictures

Edit
Dang ! Ive bid on the wrong one

Don't want to dip into my future pearl projects budget

Its soooo cold tonight so i got this out of the hall cupboard
I think the daisy is just a bit too small

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I feel like Chewy's wife

but its so warm im hoping it looks less wokie like when im upright and walking around nornally
I ideally want a nice artifical orange gerbera i can put on a safety pin
