Green duffel coat and matching clothes for Fall

I had this green duffel coat which I'd bought at a clothing warehouse pop up shop in Southern California. It's actual a hooded coat and the sleeves have been shortened and elastecized. It should be perfect for that cool autumnal weather, coming up soon...

Every now and then I repurpose clothing and these three items, i.e. the green duffel coat, the rose skirt and the babydoll top, are perfect examples of three repurposing exercises.
It goes with this green and white striped tee
and this green and white ditsy floral skirt

I've also paired a short gathered skirt with it that has a pink rose pattern and those emerald green leaves, which should go perfectly with the green of the coat!
Here's the rose skirt which I repurposed from a long skirt four sizes too small and just above the knees right now with the black waistband added...
and here's a babydoll top with left over material from the skirt and matching yoyos to cover up a nailpolish spill on the tank top...

Can't wait to wear the green duffel coat and rose skirt outfit soon, with or without the babydoll top!
