Look What I Found!

So, I've been searching for a new coat before the winter season begins to blow in. It seems like I have a closet full of perfectly decent jackets, but last year I still ended up mostly wrapped in the oversized jacket I stole from my boyfriend. Mine of course were the typical type of "girl jacket." (i.e. they are more fashionable than functionally warm and too fitted to wear a sweater or many layers underneath without looking like you've spent too much time at the holiday buffet table)

After shopping online and browsing a few stores, I decided that what I really wanted was a vintage faux fur. I came across a fantastic vintage shop downtown, but the coat I tried on had two problems. 1) It was more than double my budget and 2) It was real fur. Mink to be exact. And what girl is realistically going to spend the winter in a mink coat?? Aside from the fact I do not believe in wearing animal fur.

But TODAY, lo and behold, I came across the perfect brown vintage faux fur coat. It was tucked on a rack outside the fitting room of a second hand store, obviously discarded after an unsucessful fitting. Elation! I snagged it up. Felt the heaviness of it's warmth and silkiness of delicate lining. Trying it on was like falling into a warm embrace. And for all of $12, it was mine!
