Remember this coat? Well, it's MINE ALL MINE! *muahahahahaha* It went on sale 20% off last week so I was able to snatch it up without feeling too guilty about the price. And, miracle of miracles, it fits like a glove! The sleeves feel like they were made for my arms and I can button it up completely without pulling on my hips, something very very rare for me. My only teeny tiny complaint is that it's a bit long, but only by a few inches so I'll either live with it or eventually get it tailored if it bugs me too much. Also the shoulders are a little too big for me, but I'm used to that since I have a hard time finding cute coats in petite sizes ;p
Of course the main attraction is the collar. (THE COLLAR!!) It's beyond gorgeous. You can style it about five different ways, thanks to some hidden buttons. I like it best the way I have it in the photos, but it also looks fantastic worn really wide & open.
It really is amazing to finally have a good coat. You can tell simply from feeling the fabric that it's quality. It's so soft and warm and beautiful, I'm just totally in love!! Now if the temperature would finally drop to something that slightly resembles fall or winter I could start wearing it! ;-D
ps. Outfit photos using my mac photo booth? Who'da thunk it?! Every picture came out nice, and I actually had to narrow them down. Nice change from picking 1 half-bad shot out of 100 miserable ones using my powershot self timer. I think photo booth will be the way to go from now on!

I was just thinking about price versus quality the other day. Sometimes it's good to plonk down a lot of money just to get something that is of good quality and will last years. It's an investment of sorts.
The coat looks amazing. Is this the package that you and your brother had to intercept from your parents?
I totally agree. I've been wasting money on cheap coats for years, and now I'll have one that should last me a good 10 years at least!
lol this is the package, but we both overslept & my dad got it! He didn't mention anything about where it was from, so hopefully the worrying was for naught :)
I love the collar! You look great in it! :)
I bought a Coach purse about 7 years ago. It was $340 something dollars. I'm still using it to this day and it only recently started to fray. I think that's a good investment, especially since I've used and abused it.
Oh I hope your Dad doesn't clue into where it was from. I'm still getting engagement mail from a stupid website. I keep intercepting the mail and shredding it to bits before Carlos sees it. I'm still biting my nails worried that he's see some postcard proclaiming "Congrats on your engagement!" Eek!
Thanks Elizabeth!
lol Raquelle I hope that if either of us is found out, it's me! Your situation is a lot more compromising!
I think the coat was made just for you. It looks great!
It looks great! I love how versitile it is--that'll keep it fresh for years. I also adore that first shot of the perfect eyeline.
Wow Kate - this coat is perfect for you! Doesn't seem too long to me. You could wear some spiffy 60s boots with heels to bolster your height, if you wanted. :)
Yay for Photobooth outfit shots! Another reason to love a Mac...;D
the coat is beautiful, definitely a smart investment.
Aw, you look so different!! <3 I mean that in a good way. You're adorable here yet you've gotten even more adorable with the passing year.
