Green duffel coat and matching clothes for Fall

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.

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...

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!
