Prior to moving here, I used to poke fun of people, especially women, who wear
the puffy, ill-fitting, down-filled coats. It was mostly about fashion {...or the lack thereof} and the fact that I've never once seen a Texas winter where the weather required them.
Then, it hit me. The snow, that is. It's cold, albeit beautiful, and you {MUST} to protect yourself! On an outing at a local outlet mall, I found one of these heinous coats, tried it on, and bought it. And let me tell you, I take back EVERYTHING I've said about these coats. {Except the ones that are ill-fitting, but that's a crime in almost every coat.}

| All suited up! |

| The collar can be cinched up to shield your face from the icy wind. |
 |
| Then, folded down to reveal that face! |
 |
| Warmer days mean more buttons undone. |
 |
| See the cinch-strings? |

| Coat: Guess |

What do you think? Have I crossed over to the {other side}? :)
P.S. - I bought this $300+ coat for $45. The deals you can get at outlet malls! {And no, this had NOTHING to do with the ease of this purchase! Not at all.}
If I had to deal with snow I would buying one of those ASAP. I have a thinner puffer coat but haven't wore it much. I may need it more this year.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling! Before moving to PA, I never had to use a coat like this. Now, it's coming in handy. :) Thinner is the way to go, I think!
DeleteI think it looks great! I wish we had weather that called for this kind of coat... It's 70 degrees here right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie! I was worried about how it'd look, but I got over that real quick when I needed it! The teens don't feel too nice without one of these puffy coats.
