Even though I fell in love with this coat when I first spied it in the catalog, I was hesitant to purchase it due to the fact that it isn't every exactly cold here in Los Angeles. Plus, I have more coats than I know what do with after living most of my life on the East Coast. Despite this logic the coat was too cute to pass up and the price made it irresistible. Therefore my irrational side bought it thinking I would find various places to wear it this winter.
Today's overcast weather and "cold" temperature provided one such perfect opportunity for debuting my new coat. Here are some thoughts about the coat in case you would like to add it to your closet. First, the thing I like about the coat, which others in colder climates might not, is that the wool is light to medium weight and not too heavy. For sizing I took a size 0 which is what I usually wear in J. Crew shirts and blazers. I was afraid that taking a 0 would make it difficult to wear a sweater underneath, but as you can see from the pictures there is plenty of room for layers. Last of all the bright pink color made me feel cheery and upbeat all day long. I would also like this coat in the neutral camel color, but as I said before, I probably don't need another coat!
Outfit: Coat: J. Crew, Sweater: J. Crew "Dream" Wool Turtleneck, Skirt: Anthropologie, Tights: Vera for Vera Wang, Shoes: J. Crew satin ballet flats.
Oh the pink is so lovely on you!
