Your outfit is lovely, but I fancy that lovely wasn't quite good enough Sheila? Thanks for letting us have a peek at your coat collection. It's quite a display, but has to be considering you always walk and need to be stylish for all to see.<Anna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-70746387682838347742017-11-17T16:20:28.405-08:002017-11-17T16:20:28.405-08:00They are pretty awesome, aren't they? :)

I've just bought another one trimmed with fake fur today but that means another one has to go, as I simply don't have the space. Unless I'm wearing a short coat or jacket, I'm not usually coordinating my coats with what I'm wearing underneath, but I do have Polyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-72096499746284274872017-11-15T07:51:54.614-08:002017-11-15T07:51:54.614-08:00Ever since it got cold, I have been waiting on you...Ever since it got cold, I have been waiting on you to wear that coat.

My struggle every year is to discover a long coat that doesn't weigh a ton and is right for 40-50 degree/possibly rainy weather. Something to wear over dresses. I haven't found it yet. The main problem is that I am a 16, just a little too big for a whole range of beautiful coats, whether new or thrifted.

However, I live in central Texas where our winters are short and sometimes not very cold. That still doesn't stop me from adding to my collection. I found a couple of fun ones at my fave thrift last year and can't wait to wear them!

Someone who walks everywhere, as you do, has to be serious about outerwear. <br /><br />I have two main coats and a raincoat. I have another aging coat that occasionally gets thrown in the mix. I live in the southern US. Heat is much more a dressing concern than cold! I never button up my coat, ever.

I don't wear it much (kimonos are my staple spring/summer/autumn wear and that's most of the year, everything else is like an afterthought..but a few times last winter I was annoyed by the coat not looking as nice with the outfit as I'd thought, I think having a specific spot (rather than my wardrobe spilling out everywhere) Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858487062882928298noreply@blogger.com
