The Royal Coconut Frock on Friday

*Hello Hello*

I have been waiting to show you all this dress.

I purchased it for $1 on a color tag sale.

*Scream*

But first ... let me show you the outerwear.


I found this cape/robe coat at Salvation army last Fall. I remember it clearly because I thought it was amazing and wanted to try it on.

Once on Mr. Coco told me it looked like a Wizard cloak *LOL*

Okay so maybe it does look a little wizard-ish but it's still amazing and I had to have it. It looks to be from the 60's and is
Bouclé fabric.


I wanted to take pics outside but we got the biggest dump of snow I have seen since the winter of 2010 and I did NOT want to get this dress wet.

The dress is deadstock still complete with tag.
The Original price for it was $168.00
(That was a big chunk of change back in the day)

Tag on my hip & Jersey scowling at any people that even think of getting close to his Mama! In case you were wondering... I did NOT ask Jersey to sit there.
After his many years with me he knows what a photo shoot is and likes to pose from time to time. *Seriously I am not joking*

The tag is still on the dress because I will probably sell it. It's too pretty to sit around and not be danced in. *Tag says:* (Dance Originals)

I left to stop the self timer on the camera... APPARENTLY Jersey was not done.

*heheheh*

  8. Oh Your Royal Highness Queen Coco, you are looking magnifique! And your royal guard dog is rather a cutie too.
    The robe is fabulous, maxi coats just have such crazy drama about them.
    And the dress, OMG, what a beautiful colour on you! Do you HAVE to sell it? It looks like it fits you perfectly and it's a beauty... I love finding deadstock with the labels still on! That was one expensive frock back in the day.
    PS. I think Jersey would like his own blog, hahaha! xxxxx

  13. The color is royal, the cape is majestic and the price... WOW! I can see why you'd be excited to show it off and why Jersey wouldn't want anyone getting close to you in it.
