So that's lame.
Even more lame is that my beloved wool coat, the one I've been wearing for five winters, is starting to wear out. I really don't want to buy a new one, but I'm also getting tired of wearing a fleece jacket underneath it on days like today. It's not so great at blocking wind anymore.
If I have to think about moving on, then I want something cool like this:
Long, military style, and a dark color. I also like that it has a dramatic collar, but that's not a requirement. $108.
And this is totally impractical because my arms would freeze and fall off, but how sweet is this cape?!
If only I lived somewhere with milder winters...
Are you stuck with this cold front today, too? What are you doing to stay warm? Anybody else doing the double-jacket thing?
I hate cold weather, but I kind of LOVE cold weather clothes. I bought a new coat (finally) 2 years ago and have worn it exactly THREE times. Not much need for a cute coat in Houston, but still feel the need to HAVE one. Have fun at the party!
ReplyDeleteNow, these are the times that I am glad I live in Florida:) The weather is good enough for hubby to be laying pavers in the front walkway with the garderner....sorry, don't mean to rub it in:):) I love the first coat, very stylish and it will keep one warm. The cape is stylish, but not so practical for me:)
ReplyDeleteLaying pavers?! Jealous. Well, not of the work involved, but of the fact that outside work can be done in January. :-)
DeleteLOVE that first coat? Is it wool? and lined? if so, I think $108 is a steal and you should get it ;-)
ReplyDelete(btw - per your request I started the house tour today on the new blog!)
Yep. Wool and fully lined. Shipping is like $10 or something, but it's still crazy cheap.
DeleteOff to check out your fabulous new house!
That is a bargain on that coat for sure. I got my last one at Old Navy on sale and/or with a coupon (of course) and it ended up being like $50, and they have really nice coats. You can't skimp on one in the cold weather. I always wanted one of those slim, long black down puffer coats. And yes, I am jealous of all those who don't currently need 6 layers to make it out the door.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad it's not this time last year - when we did need layers in order to get outside. This year, we've so far had 5 days of frosty mornings, requiring car windscreens to be scraped - but so far, NO SNOW!!!! Long may it continue!
ReplyDeleteWe're stuck in this cold front in Milwaukee today, too. I think I'm going to have to venture out before it snows tomorrow. I definitely dress in layers when it's this cold.
ReplyDeleteI love that first coat!
ReplyDeleteNormally we're freezing this time of year in Oklahoma but it's been pretty warm (40s) this season.
That cape is fabulous ... though I know nothing about a proper warm coat (born and raise in Miami, Florida!)

That 2nd cape is lined with my name! I have something similar, in a tiny scale (a cropped riding jacket)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain of having to replace beloved oldies...I'm on my yearly hunt for boots. (Those who know me, know what a serious event that is for me!)
