Tales From Bottomley Cottage: Fashion Friday: Paddington Bear

Ever thought of taking your fashion inspiration from a storybook character? Well over the next couple weeks, every Friday I will take your childhood memories and bring them back to life with a look at how fashion can be drawn from the simplest of things. Beginning with...Paddington Bear! He wasn't a huge part of my childhood, but he does seem to have somewhat of an eye for good fashion- that blue toggle coat is something to be jealous of! Good on ya, Paddington.

I've embellished the outfit somewhat and even added a touch of honey to sweeten up the deal. Now, if you google Paddington Bear, you will get a ton of images- some he is wearing red boots, some yellow. I decided to stick with red and not make things too primary.
