I bought a winter coat today. The weather is slowly kicking in to rain/cold/wind. Its the warmest thing I've ever worn. 100% wool, fully lined and goes to nearly my ankles. I love the way it swishes around my ankles when i walk. And its so damn warm. And it was expensive. But a coat is a good investment. And it can be taken in easily by a dressmaker as I get thinner.
I like winter coats too. I got mine at American Eagle Outfitters, it's this shady baby blue color with a goose down lining. It's not too fluffy, it makes me feel cute, and it's just a tad old school.
Dublin was _so_ hot. I thought I was dying. I love winter coats. I always love the day when I button in the wool lining of my trench-coat in preparation for heavy weather...Speaking of which, it's probably time to _unbutton_ it.
