COAT OF MY DREAMS







The weather has finally taken a turn toward cooler temps here in Nashville and I couldn't be happier! I love the coziness of Winter - sipping hot tea by a fire, nestling under a mountain of blankets with a good book and, best of all, wearing my favorite coats! I have quite the collection of vintage coats, this one being my newest addition. I thrifted this little darling a couple of months ago with intentions of putting it up for sale in one of my shops, but it's a bit too flawed to sell (darn?). Now, it's my new favorite Winter coat! The fur collar and cuffs feel quite luxurious and I'm in love with the details of the toggle buttons. While brown is not typically a color I go for that often, I'm realizing that I can pair this coat with just about anything and feel fantastically fancy.
